    How about the approximately 0,5-1 million descendants to Finnish 16th-17th century colonialists in Norway and Sweden, are they Scandinavians or not? What makes a Scandinavian? To eat herring and dance silly dances around a midsummerpole?


    Where do you draw the line?
    "dance silly dances around a midsummerpole"
    though I used to love that shit as a 4 year old(my family got along with some Swedish-American folks, long story)
    I don't draw a line really truthfully I love finns(nice people who mind their own business) regardless of what they may consider themselves. truth of the matter is you guys have been in Scandinavia just as long as my ancestors have if not more so(though the mainstream idea of skando's is North Germanic that's what I was going with). On Finnish-Swedes yeah I would also say yes if they speak the language & still cling to their customs that means their roots are in somehow Swedish, right?

    Scandinavia is a region in Europe. Finland belongs in that region, so yes Finnish people are Scandinavian and Nordic but not Germanic. Theres a reason why these countries have similiar flags known as the "Nordic Cross" and not the "Germanic Scandinavian Cross".

    It depends how you define Scandinavia. A strict and traditional definition would include only Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Only in a wider sense, the Nordic countries, is Finland (like Iceland) included. For millenia there were cultural and political relations between Scandinavia and Finland.
