And here I was, my simple mind wondering why no one asked about Shetlans. I guess the line had to be drawn somewhere.
I don't know if anyone picked it up, but a few years back a Norwegian linguist claimed that English is really a Scandinavian dialect (edit: sorry, language even).

So if he claims it to be a Scandanavian language, I will claim it be a hybrid of a Scandanavian language with a mass of French loan words. Let's call it French Scandanavian shall we? (Norman Scandanavian will be accepted)
