Do people speak English in Denmark?
Languages of Denmark
A large majority (86%)[1] of Danes also speak English as a second language; it is mandatory for Danish students to learn from the first grade in the public elementary schools (Danish: folkeskole), by far the most popular option in the country. In the 1st (or 3rd, depends on the school) grade of folkeskole, a third language option is given, usually German or French. The vast majority pick German (47% of Danes report being able to speak conversational German). The third most widely understood foreign language is Swedish, with 13% of Danes reporting to be able to speak it. [4]
Insular Danish
Insular Danish (Danish: "Ømål") are the traditional Danish dialects spoken on the islands of Zealand, Langeland, Funen, Falster, Lolland and Møn. They are recorded in the Dictionary of Danish Insular Danish ("Ømålsordbogen") which has been collected since the 1920s, and published in biannual volumes since 1992. There are significant differences between the different insular varieties, but they also share a number of features. A major difference is between Modern Danish and the traditional insular dialects are that some of them lack the stød but kept the tonal accent. Also, they kept three noun genders.
