Dansk (Danish) is the national language but almost all Danes speak some English. Those involved in the tourist industry will have impeccable English and are likely to speak German as well. The Danes are used to communicating in other languages and seem perfectly willing to do so. English is used in a variety of situations throughout the city and may be the language of choice for establishments catering to a predominantly international or young and cosmopolitan clientele.
Danish is one of the Scandinavian (Germanic/Teutonic) languages and closely related to Swedish. To foreign eyes, written Danish seems to be infested with bizarre symbols including typically å, ø and æ, which translate into an array of vowel sounds which the non-Danish ear may have trouble distinguishing. Other distinctive characteristics of Danish to bear in mind are the weak pronunciation of unstressed syllables, and the glottal stop.
