North Germanic, descended from Old Norse; there are varying and debatable degrees of mutual intelligibility between it, Danish and Norwegian, to the point that instructions on product packages sold in the three countries are sometimes written as one phrase for all three, with differing words written with slashes, and linguists occasionally lump all three together as “Scandinavian”.

Out of interest, what did you think it was if not Germanic?

I rhought it was Scandinavian/Norse but never thought deeper than that.
