Awesome! Didn't know there was a part 2. Not many people know of it? That sucks. I like the milkman.

Has kamelåså become a well known pretend Danish word amongst the Danes?

I'm still surprised by how similar Bokmål and Danish are to one another. Do you find it easier to understand Nyorsk or Swedish?

LOL! I know this.
Kamelåså.

But danish is a horrible language
Only last week I was watching the danish/swedish tv-series broen/bron (it means the bridge)
The story is that a dead body is found placed on the bridge between Denmark and Sweeden. The body is placed with one half in Denmark and the other in Sweden, so police from both countries are involved in the investigation. I watched an episode on danish television; here they showed subtitles whenever someone spoke swedish. After that I switched to sweedish tv where they were showing the next episode. They had subtitles on whenever someone spoke danish.
My husband told me that he had heard it was a good idea to watch it on sweedish tv fas no one could understand what the danish actors said without the subtitles

And then the classic Norwegian sketch about the danish language:
Danish language - YouTube

I don't know if the eating-of-endings is really a dialect thing. In the copenhagen area where I live people do it a lot, but the same was true in the north of Jutland where I grew up. I think it is more a young prople/old people-thing. A sign that a living language change in time.

I think the 1948 reform they stopped writing noun with a capital leter at the start.
And they changed the spelling of kunde, skulde and vilde (could, should and would) to kunne, skulle and ville.
the letter å was introduced in stead og aa.
And probably a few other things too: 1948 reform (google translated)

But they do change little things from time to time. I remember the mayonnaise-reform in 1997 (i think) when the optional spelling of mayonnaise as majonæse was added. (People still argue about that one )

Oh yeouch. That looks really difficult.
I don't really have much experience with Norwegian, but I know that Swedish and even Icelandic are quite phonetic.

Is there an accent of Danish where the endings of the sounds are not swallowed, or would this only be if it was being emphasised? I guess the spellings are there because they used to be there before and have stayed, much like English. Danish only had a spelling reform in 1948 didn't it? What was reformed?

Haha, sorry for sending you on a journey!

I think it may be influenced by some other languages, actually. German and French both use it, so maybe that influenced it to some extent? I know the R was used in Poland at one point for nobility, too. Hmmm.

Kind of cool to see the "ð" sound is still in Danish, though. Also.. another question.. (sorry, lol. I'm full of questions) Would you consider Danish to be quite easy to spell if you don't know the spelling, or difficult?

Ja, jag kan talar lite svenska. I can't speak Danish though, sadly. It looks.. significantly more difficult!

And yes; the voiced uvular fricative. When did that become the most common sound for 'r' in Danish, as opposed to the alveolar trill of Swedish and Icelandic? (I'm not sure what Norwegian uses though) Sadly I've not found anything on when this sound first appeared in Danish.

Rødgrød med fløde.

...det är mycket svår.
I'm curious; do you know when the r became the norm in Danish, and why?

Thanx for the frubal.
But given the low quality of my posts, you risk getting a reputation as an "easy frube".
