Scandinavia is an area of Northern Europe that shares a common
historical, cultural, and linguistic Germanic heritage. This
area includes the modern countries of Denmark, Norway, and
Sweden. It is a cultural term often confused with the
geographical term: Scandinavian Peninsula.
The Scandinavian Peninsula is made up of Norway,
Sweden, and Finland (plus a bit of Russia). Denmark is
physically separate from the peninsula.
The Scandinavian languages, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish are
similar and can mostly be understood by people in each of the
Scandinavian countries. Finnish is unrelated to the
Scandinavian languages.
Finland, although a part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, is not
usually considered a Scandinavian country. Despite its close
location to Sweden and Norway, it does not share the same
Germanic cultural and linguistic heritage as those countries.
