<span><br></span><span></span><div><span>Hi Douglas,</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>We're all becoming experts on Danish in this country, due to the great popularity of <em>Forbrydelsen</em> ("The Killing") </span>on BBC Channel 4! I was particularly interested in the episode where Lund and Stange go to Sweden, to hear the difference.</div>
<div> </div><div>But
seriously what you say about consonants in Danish is happening in
English in youth culture. My son, at the ripe old age of 34, says he
can't understand anyone in London younger that 25! I hear youngsters at
the gym, and have to replay what they say in my head to work out what
they're saying. It's a string of vowels with glottal stops and gaps.
Even the signature expression "Innit!" has become
"I'-i'".</div><div> </div><div>Paul,</div><div>Derby,</div><div>England</div><div>(Pa'</div><div>Da'y,</div><div>E'lan')</div>
