Danish people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Danes are a Scandinavian ethnic group, and are the descendants of the Norse - better known as Vikings - along with Norwegians, Swedes, Icelanders, Faroese, and to some extent, the English, due to the settlement of many Danes, along with the Anglo-Saxons in England during the Migration period and during the Danelaw period. |
 | | 50,000 Danes live in Southern Schleswig in Germany, a former Danish territory, forming around 10% of the local population. |
 | | In Denmark, the latter group is often referred to as De danske syd for grænsen (literally: the Danes south of the (Danish-German) border) or sydslesvigere (South Schleswigers). |
