de var en fuktur graar summadag ei släutait av jauni language boundaries edit given the aforementioned homogeneity there exists some discussion on whether the continental group should be considered one or several languages 33 the continental scandinavian languages are often cited as proof of the aphorism a language is a dialect with an army and navy the differences in dialects within the countries of norway sweden and denmark can often be greater than the differences across the borders but the political independence of these countries leads continental scandinavian to be classified into norwegian swedish and danish in the popular mind as well as among most linguists the generally agreed upon language border is in other words politically shaped this is also because of the strong influence of the standard languages particularly in denmark and sweden 33 even if the language policy of norway has been more tolerant of rural dialectal variation in formal language the prestige dialect often referred to as eastern urban norwegian spoken mainly in and around the oslo region is sometimes considered normative the influence of a standard norwegian is nevertheless less so than in denmark and sweden since the prestige dialect in norway has moved geographically several times over the past 200 years the organised formation of nynorsk out of western norwegian dialects after norway became independent from denmark in 1814 intensified the politico linguistic divisions the nordic council has on several occasions referred to the germanic languages spoken in scandinavia as the scandinavian language singular for instance the official newsletter of the nordic council is written in the scandinavian language 34 clarification needed the creation of one unified written language has been considered as highly unlikely given the failure to agree upon a common standardized language in norway however there is a slight chance of some uniformization of spelling between norway sweden and denmark 35 36 family tree edit this section does not cite any sources please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources unsourced material may be challenged and
