But consider: Swedish is a fictional language made up by a furniture store to sell sawdust and horse meat rolled into funny little balls

This is ludicrous, horse meat costs more than beef.

Close. Swedish is a failed attempt at Danish, as is Norwegian.

All Scandinavians English. In fact, the vast majority of us are fluent.

But in case you meant that Norwegians ONLY speak English, that’s not the case. They actually speak TWO kinds of Norwegian. Bokmål, which is a pretty good attempt at Danish and Nynorsk, which is a pretty good imitation of insanity.
