        I do not need to justify myself to you, you are the one who needs to justify your backwards view to me.
        And you probably couldn’t answer why, which is why you made a response with absolutely no substance containing no argument.

        So I ask again, what is your argument for wanting people to not have the privilege of belonging to a bigger language group?

        Danish, English, German, and also Swedish and Norwegian because they are close to Danish, so I don’t really count those.
