Faroese retains many similarities but is influenced by Danish, Norwegian, and Gaelic ( Scottish and / or Irish ).
Although Swedish, Danish and the Norwegian languages have diverged the most, they still retain asymmetric mutual intelligibility.
Speakers of modern Swedish, Norwegian and Danish can mostly understand each other without studying their neighboring languages, particularly if speaking slowly.
The languages are also sufficiently similar in writing that they can mostly be understood across borders.
This could be because these languages have been mutually affected by each other, as well as having a similar development influenced by Middle Low German.
