I would protest! Swedish and Danish, to me, are farther apart than Vedic and
Avestan. It's been 30 years since I studied them, but they seemed then like
virtually the same language, which no one could say about Swedish and Danish.
Now Norwegian, one variety, is virtually the same as Danish, for political
reasons.
