Norwegian and Swedish language are very close – here is RennyBA’s Terella contribution to BlogSphere’s Wordless Wednesday:

Both pictures are taken in Sweden, but luckily the Norwegians would understand the sign – how about you?

    Wonderful fun! :) :)
    I love language and words (even on a Wordless Wednesday) and I’m always intrigued about how they are linked. Well, evidently the Swedish words in this case aren’t linked to the English. But they look a bit like the German fahren.

    The first time I drove through Germany I was convinced that Ausfahrt was the biggest town in Germany. Every exit pointed to it.

    Great pictures. I know a little German and could guess a little I think as I drove around Norway and Sweden.

    Hahahaha! I know what they are! They have something to do with driving and speed, somehow related to the German word “fahren” but the /h/ was lost in the orthography. I saw similar signs in Denmark, and they were still funny to me even though I know what they really mean. They had signs such as Fart Kontrol, you would just wonder what those Danish highways were capable of doing! You can see one here: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1135/1063663110_240a09a7e0.jpg

    I don’t understand the signs and I would probably be lost!
    I love these beautiful countries though.
