Anyone here who speaks both an Indian language and a Scandinavian one? I was in Norway recently, and something about the way they speak seemed very very similar to the Indic languages. I couldn't put my finger on it. Wikipedia gives me the notion that it could be the fact that it is a pitch accent language.
This had me wondering if perhaps such a similarity, if it exists, it might make Scandinavian languages easier to learn for an Indian. Or is there such a thing as propensity to learn one language if you know another? I need to get some sleep now.
