German, Dutch, Swiss, Norwegian, Swedish might have similar grammar, but no way in hell can I conversate with a Dutch person without knowing any words and stuff like that.

Now I as a Norwegian can understand a Swedish and a Danish (Denmark) person withouth needing to study the language.

There are three main groups of Indo-European languages, which are those based on Latin (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and others), the Eastern-Europe ones whose English name I don't know (Russian, Polish, Serbian etc.) and the Germanic ones (German (duh), Dutch, Scandinavian languages and also English)...languages within the same groups are based on similar patterns, grammar and vocabulary, but speakers can't just communicate with each other...I don't really get what Elevz wrote two posts above although Dutch is pretty similar to German which I speak perfectly.

And "Swiss" is just a German dialect by the way, but no language in its own right

Frisian is a West Germanic language (see characterisation of the Germanic language family) which is spoken by about 400,000 people in the province of Friesland in the Netherlands. It is closely related to Dutch but also shows a number of striking similarities to English, especially at the lexical level.

Dutch is, however, the most important language for the development of Frisian. In the course of history the two languages kept coming into contact with each other. This linguistic contact was determined by the power relationship in the Low Countries and has been a great influence in the development of the present language situation in Friesland.

The Frisian languages are a closely related group of Germanic languages, spoken by about half a million members of Frisian ethnic groups, who live on the southern fringes of the North Sea in the Netherlands and Germany. Frisian languages are the most closely related living European languages to Old English, but modern English and Frisian are mostly unintelligible to each other. It has been asserted that fishermen from Great Yarmouth could understand fishermen from Harlingen in Friesland. There are similarities to both Dutch, as many Frisian words are borrowed from Dutch, and Danish, as Danish speakers are able to understand some spoken Frisian. Additional shared linguistic characteristics between the Great Yarmouth area, Friesland, and Denmark are likely to have resulted from the close trading relationship these areas maintained during the centuries-long Hanseatic League of the Late Middle Ages.
