Frisian is an odd language, even for Dutch people it's difficult and the similarities to English are often more academic than anything.
I would say Norwegian and parts of West Flemish are closer to English on a practical level.

Swedish spoken, danish written.

Galician, Mirandese, Leonese, Castilian, Catalan, Occitan, in that order.

French is easier to read than Italian, which is easier to listen than French.

>sort of understand it
written down Portuguese and Spanish are practically mutually intelligible.

you picked a sentence where two nouns are't that close - lluvia/chuva and llanura/planície, but context is pretty helpful.

Nevertheless, I can see close similarities.

>Norwegian and Swedish

If you have a basic knowledge of it French is clearly the closest one: same grammar, almost identical lexicon.

Spanish seems easier because the phonetics of French has been germanised too much, but there are greater grammar differences than with French.

Austro-Bavarian

Norwegian.

If we're including meme languages then Frisian and Afrikaans
Else it's German

>italian
Unless you speak Istrian, wut?

pink: ultra gay
red: very gay
orange: gay
blue: somewhat gay
purple: kinda gay
green: a little bit gay
brown: not gay

Afrikaans

But of the non-meme languages, German.

chakavian

Croatian

Polish and Croatian are basically the same, because Poles and Croats are one nation.

English is similar to a lot of languages like Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Afrikaans, French, and the Scandinavian Languages (execpt Finnish :-DDDDD)

Finnish isn't a Scandinavian language

Croatian is not a language tho, it's just a local official standards of Serbocroatian with some more Slovenian influences than the other standards

also why does this retarded map connects Northern Cyprus with Turkey? it's not part of Turkey, it's just recognized only by Turkey lmao

I know, but Finland is often grouped with Scandinavian countries.

It's a Uralic language most similar to Estonian.

In terms of learning shit, you could learn Dutch or Swedish in a very short amount of time compared to something like Czech. We often have a hard time with French due to pronunciation and listening, but reading and writing probably come easier.

t. Language teacher

Are no other Hellenic languages/dialects at all?

*cringes*

Orcish

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Modern_Greek#Modern_varieties
the most known is the Cypriot Greek that's the language spoken in Cyprus, they have some different things but they just make sense to a Greek living here
Generally there are several dialects here depending in the place you're talking about but there are a few changes on each of them so it's not a big matter.

Aren't there dialects of Greek still spoken by certain ethnic minorities in southern Italy?

Belarusian and Ukrainian

Well, it's a wrong categorisation. Finland is a Nordic but not Scandinavian country.

Well, it's true. Croatian is equally as shit at forming relative clauses as Serbian, it still has the same hilarious pseudo-Latin calques that give male nouns with female endings (ustaša, arhitekta), the word order is still severely fucked (sviđa mi se), and declension categories are still jumbled and wrong (riža, jabuka, ledeni dob). So if you're implying that Croatian is any less fucked than Serbian, then you're probably wrong.

t. speaks the closest relative of Serbo-Croatian, only not half as fucked up, obviously

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griko_dialect
it's influenced by Italian but a modern Greek speaker would understand most things they say, there are also several words in modern Greek taken by Italian words and they're usually in everyday life.

English is the most similar to Frisian, or Dutch if you want a bigger language
Latvian is most similar to Lithuanian, no surprise obviously.

Poonisian's Arab.

but it's all the same in Polish

it's lonely being archaic and ancient (like Slovene)

>half of the vocabulary is German
>archaic and ancient like Slovene

well, do you think Slovenia is more similar to Bulgaria and Romania than to Austria? lmao

nowadays, half the vocabulary is in fact Serbocroatian rather than German

Bread, butter and green cheese is good English and good Friese.

Planicie is also a spanish word, it's just that llanura is more common.

I noticed I can figure out meaning of other romance words often by striking similarity to 'obsolete' spanish words or rather, words that we wouldn't use that commonly.

I did some research, it sounds like italian spoked with polish accent

That happens between any pair of romance languages. At some point there were synonyms and either we picked the same word to be the most common and the other faded into disuse, or we picked different ones and each will sound archaic to each other.

Portuguese and Spanish have this in troves.

Slovakian

Faroese

Maybe Phoenician.

French obviously

Bornholmsk :^)

Belarus. In my childhood, I considered our languages the same.

I thought Albanian had something common with it as both are pre-Slavic migration/languages of paleobalkan origin

This. Danish is a close second though.

Frisian. Closest to dutch in its current state. Probably closer to another language(like english without french loanwords) if you eliminate all the dutch loanwords.

None, we're unique isolate.

Slovakian I guess, followed closely by Czech.

I refuse to treat Galician as a different language.

>written

Spanish shares 89% of the lexicon with portuguese, but they speak wierd so we cannot understand them
