Other comments: Danish has a decimal system. There are two forms of number one, which refer to gender of noun in Danish. Danish is a North Germanic language spoken by about six million people, principally in Denmark, Greenland, the Faroe Islands and in the region of Southern Schleswig in northern Germany, where it has minority language status. Also, minor Danish-speaking communities are found in Norway, Sweden, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina.Due to immigration from Denmark, about 10% of the population of Greenland speak Danish as their first language. |
