Answer 2

The language of Denmark is Danish. It is the native language of pretty well the entire population and is the sole language for official purposes. Of c. 20,000 pro-German Danish citizens in Southern Jutland, about two thirds speak Danish at home, even though this minority cultivates German to reflect its identity. Neither foreign citizens resident in Denmark (256.276 i 1999) nor immigrants who have obtained Danish citizenship have so far had any demonstrable influence on the Danish language.

Under the terms of the home rule acts, Danish enjoys equality with Faeroese and Greenlandic in the Faeroe Islands and Greenland respectively, and Danish is a compulsory school subject. In Icelandic schools, too, Danish was the first foreign language to be learned until the late 1990’s and Danish still serves as a means of communication with the other Nordic countries. In addition, Danish is the mother tongue or the language of culture for c. 50,000 pro-Danish German citizens in South Schleswig (Germany), and is to a certain extent maintained by Danish immigrants in America and Australia. On an international level, Danish has been an official EU language since 1973.
