Danish is the Germanic language spoken in Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and parts of Greenland and Germany (Southern Schleswig). Around 5.5 million people speak Danish. It is used as a second language in Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The Danish people, or Danes, call their language dansk.
Following the first Bible translation, the development of Danish as a written language, as a language of religion, administration, and public discourse accelerated. In the second half of the 17th century, grammarians elaborated grammars of Danish, first among them Rasmus Bartholin's 1657 Latin grammar De studio lingvæ danicæ; then Laurids Olufsen Kock's 1660 grammar of the Zealand dialect Introductio ad lingvam Danicam puta selandicam; and in 1685 the first Danish grammar written in Danish, Den Danske Sprog-Kunst ("The Art of the Danish Language") by Peder Syv. Major authors from this period are Thomas Kingo, poet and psalmist, and Leonora Christina Ulfeldt, whose novel Jammersminde (Remembered Woes) is considered a literary masterpiece by scholars. Orthography was still not standardized and the principles for doing so were vigorously discussed among Danish philologists. The grammar of Jens Pedersen Høysgaard was the first to give a detailed analysis of Danish phonology and prosody, including a description of the stød. In this period, scholars were also discussing whether it was best to "write as one speaks" or to "speak as one writes", including whether archaic grammatical forms that had fallen out of use in the vernacular, such as the plural form of verbs, should be conserved in writing (i.e. han er "he is" vs. de ere "they are").
The East Danish provinces were lost to Sweden after the Second Treaty of Brömsebro (1645) after which they were gradually Swedified; just as Norway was politically severed from Denmark, beginning also a gradual end of Danish influence on Norwegian (influence through the shared written standard language remained). With the introduction of absolutism in 1660, the Danish state was further integrated, and the language of the Danish chancellery, a Zealandic variety with German and French influence, became the de facto official standard language, especially in writing — this was the original so-called rigsdansk ("Danish of the Realm"). Also beginning in the mid-18th century, the skarre-R, the uvular R sound ([ʁ]), began spreading through Denmark, likely through influence from Parisian French and German. It affected all of the areas where Danish had been influential, including all of Denmark, Southern Sweden, and coastal southern Norway.

Danish Document Translation
Danish has significant dialectal variation between Jutlandic, Insular, and Bornholmian dialect groups, though standard Danish (Rigsdansk) based on Copenhagen speech is used in all official documentation. Documents from the Faroe Islands and Greenland, while under Danish sovereignty, are typically issued in Faroese or Greenlandic respectively, with Danish as a secondary language. These require different translation considerations than mainland Danish documents.
Danish Document Types
Danish civil documents include the fødselsattest (birth certificate) or fødsels- og dåbsattest (birth and baptism certificate, from church records pre-digitalisation), vielsesattest (marriage certificate), and kørekort (driving licence). The civil registration system is administered through the Folkeregistret (National Register).
Where Danish Is Official
Danish is the official language of Denmark, including the Faroe Islands and Greenland (where it is co-official with Faroese and Greenlandic respectively). It is also a recognised minority language in the Schleswig region of northern Germany. As an EU member state, Denmark issues many official documents in formats standardised across Europe, though the Danish CPR (Civil Registration) system produces documents with unique formatting conventions.
Danish uses the Latin alphabet plus three additional letters: æ, ø, and å, which appear at the end of the alphabet. These characters are essential for correct Danish and must be preserved in all translations. The letter å replaced the older spelling aa in 1948, though some proper nouns (notably the city of Aalborg) retain the older form. Danish naming conventions use patronymic-derived surnames (ending in -sen).
About City of Perth
The City of Perth covers approximately 14 square kilometres encompassing the Perth CBD, Northbridge, and East Perth. With a residential population of around 30,000 that swells dramatically during business hours, it serves as the administrative, commercial, and cultural heart of Western Australia and has seen substantial apartment development over the past decade.
The LGA comprises Perth CBD, Northbridge, East Perth, West Perth, and Crawley, with the Murray Street and Hay Street malls forming the core retail precinct.
Council House on St Georges Terrace is the seat of local government. The City of Perth Library on Hay Street is a modern multi-level facility, and Perth Concert Hall, Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, and the Perth Cultural Centre in Northbridge anchor the civic and cultural landscape.
Perth Station and Perth Underground are the central rail hubs connecting all suburban lines. The free CAT bus network circulates through the CBD, and the Elizabeth Quay bus station serves as the main Transperth bus terminal. The Mitchell and Kwinana freeways converge at the city's edges.
