my travels through Sweden and Norway convinced me
that those  languages sound like Danish
spoken by brutish  trolls>>>>>>>>
 
Depends on what dialect/accent the speaker uses.  There are the
three varieties of Norwegian, for instance.  When I pressed my
relatives in the Oslo area about my mother's Norwegian, they said,
politely, that she sounded like a country bumpkin.
 
There is that characteristic "lilt" (for want of a better term) to  both
Swedish and Norwegian that is minimal in Danish.
 
I was once standing in line to get into "Mary's" Restaurant (the
one where MTM is seen sitting at a balcony table overlooking the  IDS
Courtyard).  The two couples ahead of me were chatting in a  vaguely
familiar language, and when my curiosity got the better of me I 
asked them (in English) what language they were speaking.  The
answer:  Icelandic.
