LANGUAGE

The are two dialects spoken in Gotland, Gutamål and Fårömål. The older version had both written and spoken language and was seen as an ancient East-Nordic language.

In historical time the written language was changed into Danish, then the people of Gotland had to switch to Swedish. Still today the special dialect is spoken here and it says that it is one of the most difficult to understand for other Swedes.

Concerning Swedish, Danish and Norwegian languages, most Norse (meaning Scandinavians except Finns and Icelanders)
