I definitely heard Finland say "pelican".

As a Scandi, that's eerily similar on everything besides Finnish. Also that type of Swedish is a really southern type of accent lmao

The choking one made me laugh..... am i a bad person?
Mordikay
As a Dane having lived in all these countries, I can confirm this is spot on.

Is Danish a joke to you?
(Correct answer: it should be & it's a joke to this native speaker as well.)

This is so interesting to me who's an immigrant in sweden, I've lived here long enough to forget that I used to struggle understanding a single word of it, what's worse is I had no guidelines either because Swedish and english are both ungendered languages but my native language is gendered (lithuanian) so it took around 7 months to get used to the grammar

SirRichardOfHead
The Finnish is spot on and I am a Finn.

Do you think, i could grow my own finns, if i try hard enough?
Skankkid99
As a Dane, I feel slightly offended, but also entertained. They actually hit the "tone" of the different languages quite well

I was wondering why she said an old woman was crawling under a container in finnish
SmergBlaerghl
I'm Norwegian and I'd say she's pretty much spot on.
torbtom
It’s very accurate (for at least some dialect). The Finnish may sound a bit Sami, but for a non-Finnish speaker it sounds Finnish enough :D
AbrahamDeLaceyGiuseppeCasey
She is on point
SergeyPrkl
I think finnish was a bit too ... too? Can't really tell... but like... umm... ak ak!
hotrodny
LOL
I am a norwegian and I also worked in Sweden for some years. In MY opinion, this was spot on! :D
ShiftyBat
So Finnish is just verbal galloping? No wonder they're so happy - they're all horses in disguise!
seckzie
Her finnish example was most like what it would sound like if anybody sang in finnish. They are not usually that sing-songy. :)

Finnish doesn't sound anything like that.
drGrafenberg
Well... I could almost say what dialect of swedish she'd listened to when she learned that. It's northern part of Skåne (plus a bit of Lund), mixed with a bit of Halland... and a good bit of Småland. /Sweden
hybelmygg
Norwegian one sounds like it's from around the Oslo area, a very generic eastern Norway dialect. She's pretty spot on honestly. Although I'm convinced the Danish one is just actual Danish.
drGrafenberg
Yes, the Norwegian is somewhere around Oslo, so generic, but there is also Sørlandet a bit of Østfold - almost Sarpsborg?
Katzenkorps
Danish goes correctly by speaking Norwegian with big potato in mouth, as Dansk er ikke et språk, men en halssykdom.
drGrafenberg
Det är ett läte.
technofiend
OMG! She nearly choked to death speaking Danish! Poor woman.
Calistrasza
Held the potato too far back in her mouth.
SmergBlaerghl
Just like the Danes
torbtom
”Poor Danes”, you mean ;)
Silvergreylion
It IS often quite funny to hear people of other nationalities trying to speak danish. We do sometimes joke about finnish being a throat disease, though.
Megamastermetamememaker
Ever heard dutch ?...
Silvergreylion
Yes, I once had a conversation with a dutch girl, and we could actually understand each other, but it was with every second word in english and the other in german.
Megamastermetamememaker
I was more thinking of the throat disease...
TheOneThatGotBanned
Its because Finnish is not a Germanic language (indo-european) like the others so it is different

in Stargate atlantis, there was a scientist that would always lose his temper and start "swearing" in his native tongue (Czeck) -- he really was telling the audience what the plot of the episode was. if you spoke Czeck. :)

"My Czech must be getting better because I know what you mean" Classic John
quzar
A lot of the times he was just saying lines that fit with the scene. I can't find which episode, but there was at least one notable time where his lines were something like and then is when he gave away the ending of the episode.

As native Finn who speaks Nordics, I agree.

But those characters actually talk swedish sometimes, which is hilarious

I started cackling when I first played it and a character just burst out with "MONSTER I SKOGEN!"

I could not figure out if they were talking a language or not.
Spells are so big tho it's kinda tricky to do multi-player unfortunately.
Eleshar24
Icelandic sounds like the only real one of the four.
Lionanar
As an Icelander, who speaks all the languages except Finish, the Icelandic one dod not sound very close to the real thing... but the sweedish did, and the Danish a bit...
joble
Yeah I agree, as a Finn, the Finnish was way off.
Eleshar24
Sorry, my intent was to express that only Icelanding sounds like a *real language*, not that her pronunciation is close to the real deal. I studied linguistics and have a mild familiarity with the northern-germanic languages. Swedish, Norwergian and particularly Danish all sound like some made up bullshit :-D
Lionanar
That's because it is excactly that, a made up bullshit :)
naturebowgame2000
the Swedish is really spot on, true. Danish could be more absurd than that

Icelandic is the closest to old Norse, the language which all of them spawned from.
