"Tysk" is the Danish word for "German". It is related to the English word "Dutch" because the language Dutch is closely related to the dialect of North Germany. But basically, there is very much idea in using a common language. Just look at Europe and see how bad it is for our economy that we don't have a common language. Personally I speak/write/read/understand Danish, German and English well, and I know a bit Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian, but just within 1000km range, there are more than double the number of languages used at workplaces. I would have big problems just travelling 100km east of where I live and trying to communicate with the local people unless we both switch to English. About 20% of all people in Denmark don't understand English one bit. This number is much higher in most other European countries. Dybdahl.
