  • What ever part of the globe has a community of Danes.
  • Denmark and Greenland, though Greenland is a "province" of Denmark, rather than a country. Danish is also spoken by many in Jutland and Gottland and many Islands in the vicinity of Denmark. Many Norwegians are fluent in both Norwegian and Danish due to the commerce and cultural/historical relationship.
  • :D Denmark, obviously, and Greenland, where it's taught as a second language in school. The kids up there used to learn Danish before their own language (Greenlandish? I have no idea what it's called), but today they have more rights than before. The Faroe Islands also have Danish as a third language choice (bit like have to chose between learning French and German in 7th grade I think, but I'm not certain). In Iceland, which was a sort of colony until 1944, I believe it's taught as a optional language in basic school (that is, 1st to 9th grade). When we went to Iceland a few years ago, we had dinner at one of my mom's old friends and her family, and one of her kids spoke some Danish phrases. I'm not 100% certain about this, but I believe this is how it works
