THE DANISH LANGUAGE
Danish (dansk) is one of the North Germanic languages (also called Scandinavian languages), a sub-group of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European languages. It is spoken by around 6 million people, mainly in Denmark; the language is also used by the 50,000 Danes in the northern parts of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany where it holds the status of minority language.
Danish also holds official status and is a mandatory subject in school in the Danish territories of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, which now enjoy limited autonomy. In Iceland and Faroe Islands, Danish is taught as a compulsory foreign language in schools. There are also Danish language communities in Argentina, the U.S. and Canada.
THE DUTCH LANGUAGE
Dutch (Nederlands) is a West Germanic language spoken by around 24 million people, mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium and Suriname, but also by smaller groups of speakers in parts of France, Germany and several former Dutch colonies. Sometimes called the smallest world language, it is closely related to other West Germanic languages (e.g., English, West Frisian and German) and somewhat more remotely to the North Germanic languages.
Dutch is the parent language of several Dutch-based creole languages as well as of Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa and the most widely understood in Namibia. Dutch is also an official language of the European Union and the Union of South American Nations.
THE FINNISH LANGUAGE
Finnish (suomi or suomen kieli) is the language spoken by the majority of the population in Finland (92% as of 2006) and by ethnic Finns outside of Finland. It is one of the official languages of Finland and an official minority language in Sweden. In Sweden, both standard Finnish and Meänkieli, a Finnish dialect, are spoken. The Kven language, which is closely related to Finnish, is an official minority language in Norway.

Language information and mistakes
• Although Hindi is rated as the third most widely spoken language in the world, English is actually the most commonly used in India. It is the official language for trade and tourism, government, the media and secondary and university education. Officially more than 200,000 Indians have English as their mother tongue. Furthermore, large numbers (40 million plus) use it as their daily working language.
• The world's most translated item is the Holy Bible. The current version is the product of a number of translations and re-translations all undertaken by monks in the Middle Ages, mostly from Latin. It is said that a monk might have devoted his entire monastic life to translating and crafting his allocated book.
• NASA's Voyager which is now heading at great speed towards the nearest galaxy has a message on board for any aliens who may stumble across it. The message was devised by a team of experts and had to communicate in the simplest way some essential information about us earthlings. This taxed the brains of the NASA team for more than two years before they came up with something considered suitable. It has to be hoped that the Alien Translation Company given the task of interpreting this take an appreciably shorter time to make sense of it and get the work back!
• In German, it is important to spell the small word "sie" correctly, it means "she" or "they". When spelt with a capital "S", however, it is the polite address form for "you". Accordingly, the following German sentence:
Wenn die Seitenwände aus Metall bestehen und starr montiert sind, können
Sie durch ein nichtmetallisches Material ersetzt werden.
This means in English:
"When the sidewalls are made from metal and rigidly mounted, you could be replaced by a non-metallic material."
