I'm not convinced Danes can understand each other

probably less than they can understand english

As a person who speaks dutch, Frisian and decent german most of these kinds of maps only show relation and language roots, not mutual intelligibility. Its very hard to follow our neighbours without prior knowlegde.

no

Can you guys understand some of this
