Hey, I wasn't sure if this should go in pre or post 1900, so I'm hoping that this is okay, seeing as how a unified Scandinavia would probably require a pre-1900 PoD.

My question is, how do you guys think the various Scandinavian languages would interact in a united Scandinavian country? I already know that Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are pretty close, would there possibly be the creation of a "Standard" Scandinavian language (with Danish/Norwegian/Swedish remaining local dialects, like Germany's regional dialects)? Or would this be a multi-lingual state? Or might one language (guessing either Danish or Swedish, depending on PoD) take over as the majority language?
