Funen and Surrounding Islands

Talk

Danish is of course spoken by all inhabitants. Swedish and Norwegian are both somewhat understood, but English is more widely spoken amongst all inhabitants, except for very young children and the elderly over 70. German is taught in schools, but generally only spoken to a lesser degree. French is taught in some public schools, but few speakers can be found, those existing will be found mostly in Odense.In Odense, quite a few immigrants with some knowledge of either Arabic, Turkish or Persian can be found.
