whereas Danish is rather plain and unsophisticated. Anybody listening to the 2 languages can easily detect that just based on how flat Danish sounds vs. the Swedish intonation. Yes, I noticed that when I was in Denmark and then in Sweden. Swedish is much nicer sounding. Furthermore Danish just like Dutch is extremely guttural. As for how close they are, Danish may be somewhat closer to Swedish than Dutch to German. But not much. Dutch actually originally is a West German dialect, with in this case German remaining the 'less developed' (= less simplified) language of the 2. Dutch = Deutsch. No? As much as the Dutch truly hate that, German and Dutch are both German languages. In fact, there is a whole region of the Netherlands.....southeastern part of the country......that speaks more German than Dutch.
