==== North Germanic continuum ==== The [[Norwegian dialects|Norwegian]], [[Danish dialects|Danish]] and [[Swedish dialects]] comprise a classic example of a dialect continuum, encompassing Norway, Denmark, Sweden and coastal parts of Finland. The Continental North Germanic standard languages ([[Norwegian language|Norwegian]], [[Danish language|Danish]] and [[Swedish language|Swedish]]) are close enough and intelligible enough for some {{Who|date=July 2024}} to consider them to be dialects of the same language, but the Insular ones ([[Faroese language|Faroese]] and [[Icelandic language|Icelandic]]) are not immediately intelligible to the other North Germanic speakers.
