I can think of a number of swedes and norwegians that post here but off the top of my head I don't know of any germans.

I mean there are more Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian speakers on 2+2 than German.

Met, how do you know? Are you sure?

From Wikipedia article on population breakdown of Europe:


German speaking countries (ignoring Switz/Luxem/Licht & minority German populations of other countries):

Germany----83,251,851
Austria-----8,169,929

Total------91,421,780


Scandinavian language countries (the big 3 & ignoring Swedish speakers in Finland and Danish speakers in Greenland etc.):

Norway-------4,525,116
Sweden-------9,090,113
Denmark------5,368,854

Total-------18,984,083


From Wikipedia article on estimates of number of speakers by language:

Norwegian: 4.7 - 5 mil
Danish: 5.3 - 5.6 mil
Swedish: 8.8 - 9 mil

Total: 18.8 - 19.6 mil


German: 95-100 mil



Bottom line: every swinging dick in Scandinavia has to be a poker player to equal just 20% of German speakers being poker players.

Look at what you just posted.

Sweden & Finland are 5.2% combined. Germany is 7.1%.

Are we supposed to believe that Denmark & Norway don't make up over 1.9% of 2+2? Poker is as popular in both of those countries as it is in Sweden and their populations aren't a ton smaller.

Of course, if as you said forums are being driven by book translations then that is another story and none of this matters. But I am > 90% confident than Denmark/Sweden/Norway/Finland make up a bigger part of 2+2 than Germany.

i really dont care if there are 42 language subforums but i think putting them all on the sidebar creates a lot of clutter. perhaps just one link to the german forums?

Met, Between Dynasty, Bluff and my posts, you should have your answer...

ps... if you really want a scandinavian forum, why don't you hook Mason up with a scandi publisher to do the translations? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

pps... have you given up on a Travel forum?

[TheMetetron]

I'm aware.

PS - Don't really care either way to be honest, just curious.

PPS - No.
