A few thoughts about this phrasebook:

  • I removed/softened the parts that more or less explicitly said that one shouldn't bother with learning anything in those languages as people speak English and will be confused if you try and speak to them in their proper language. I really don't think that Scandinavia is an exception to the rule that you can score bonus sympathy points anywhere in the world if you make an attempt to speak the local language.
  • Somebody who speaks the languages in question should double-check if the numbered languages like Icelandic or Finnish do actually correspond to the English template which I added, as especially Finnish is not a language where you can find out the meaning of a phrase by guessing.
  • Danish for instance, and to a certain degree also Icelandic, have to be extended.--Zenit 14:08, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
