Who are your country's and cultural neighbors?
Sorry for the dumb question. If you don’t embrace any other cultures or languages except your own country, then just say country. I will never be a “Norwegian Norwegian” as I wasn’t born or raised in Norway. I’m American, so my neighbors would be Canada and Mexico. However, my cultural neighbors would be Sweden, Finland, and Russia I guess. I’m not a true Norwegian, for the record, but we embrace our heritage a lot and have been raised around videos of the language since I was little but didn’t actually remember anything so I’m learning more.

cultural as in the most culturally similar or as in geographically closest? because if we go on similarity then denmark and scotland should be on your list, at number 1 and 4 respectively. and norway has basically nothing in common with russia. it’s a fun but potentially extremely broad question; if you feel culturally russian, would your neighbors be all 14 of its bordering countries from finland to north korea?

I’ve been to Finland and I never felt alien there. Of course, it’s a bit different, but “nothing in common” is a bit of an overstretch to me
