I think Siamese are Danish not Swedish. And calling a Dane Swedish is possibly the worst "insult" to say to a Dane LOL There is a lot of friendly / unfriendly rivalry between Denmark and Sweden They both speak languages related to each other and their written forms are very similar but they sound very different - mostly because Danish sounds like someone with a hot potato in the mouth LOL. Fun fact: in Denmark a Danish pastry is called a "Wiennerbrød" - Viennese bread and in Vienna they are called "Kopenhagener Gebäck" - Copenhagen baked goods

Yeah, that is 100% my bad. I thought I remember seeing something saying they were from Sweden, but after just checking, they are from Denmark. I don't mean any insult by it, but that is good to know. Thank you so much for the information though as that is really cool to know, and I actually at some point would like to visit any of the northern counties like Sweden, Denmark, etc. so hopefully get to experience more so the culture than just from videos. In the states, people from the deep south, so like places like Mississippi, or really the places/states that were consider the south during the US Civil War would best be compared to Danish, language sound wise, as you have to be around it a lot to get the full understanding of it and just the lingo of it all. There are still times you have to have people repeat themselves, but it is all in good fun. haha

@@panicmanicyt I was in Maryland - which though a slave-owning state was on the Union side and the accent of some folks was very hard for me to understand and I am a native speaker LOL. Here is a Norwegian comedy programme poking fun at the Danes and their language: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pWGhsdtxhrircs4.html I have visited all three Scandinavian countries (DK, NO and S) as well as Iceland, Finland and Estonia and they are great places to visit. For me speaking English and German reading the Scandinavian languages is relatively straight forward but the spoken language is more problematic LOL. I worked in Estonia and travelled a lot between there and Finland so I learnt Estonian and Finnish which are wild languages - not even closely related to any Indo-European languages.
