@dougfir @benroyce Swedish, Danish and Norwegian are similar enough for general conversation ("please pass the dill"), but Finnish is so unsimilar it's not even an Indo-European language, and if they get into the nitty-gritty of international policy they'll probably go with English. The Finnish head of state probably knows one of the Scandinavian languages as well.
I was wondering why Iceland isn't represented. Probably insisted they use Old Norse as their common language. ;-)
