Are Estonians Scandinavians/Nordic?

[The Ripper]

Answer mit ze outmost honesty.

Scandinavians are a group of Germanic peoples, inhabiting Scandinavia, which includes Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes. When including the areas of Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Svalbard, Åland, and Finland Swedes in Finland, the group is technically known as Nordic

No.

[W. R.]

I'm gonna howl.

[Äike]

Scandinavians no, Nordic yes.

[The Ripper]

Scandinavians no, Nordic yes.

Scandinavian no, Baltic yes, Nordic no, Finnic yes, two legs yes, four legs no.

[Äike]

Scandinavian no, Baltic yes, Nordic no, Finnic yes, two legs yes, four legs no.

Being named after an other group of people is false in my opinion.

There's a reason why Finns are called Nordic, not Scandinavian. The word "Baltic" is associated with this:



I do not want to be associated with people who I am not related with.

[Wyn]

Nether Scandinavian nor Nordic. The term Scandinavia does not encompass them, nor does the term Nordic countries.

Being named after an other group of people is false in my opinion.

How about being named after a mythological Phoenician princess, Europa?

There's a reason why Finns are called Nordic, not Scandinavian.

Yes, the reason is political and geographic, not cultural or ethnic.

The word "Baltic" is associated with this:

Estonia is geographically Baltic, not linguistically or ethnically. Stop mixing shit up.

I do not want to be associated with people who I am not related with.

Weren't you just going on about how Northern Latvians are close to Estonians?

If someone would think that the Dutch are related to the French and are speakers of the Romance languages, then you'd probably argue that person for a very long time.
