>Danish and Norwegian are not linguistically Germanic

Where do you get that notion? My education (and some googling to refresh my memory) has Norwegian, Swedish and Danish classed as "North Germanic" according to comparative linguistics. That is one subset of the West Germanic languages which most of northern Europe speaks.

You are right, west germanic is what I had in mind. In my mind north germanic never made sense, but I guess I will leave that to the experts :)
