if you consider Scandinavia as refering to the Nordics then Estonian has quite a bit of English speakers
I consider Scandinavia as Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, since that's what Scandinavia is. I'm not speaking of only Scandinavia to exclude the other Nordic countries, though, just because I know a lot less about the other Nordic countries vis a vis their language abilities ๐คท
Except for the fun fact that Estonia is the only country outside of the Kingdom of Denmark that teaches Danish as a mandatory subject in school ๐
how sure are you about that last part
Pretty sure. Supposedly it started because of an old legend about the origins of Dannebrog and became tradition. Why, have you found another one? ๐
that was the first reply I've read in 2024
Woah time traveller from the future!
