Some english words, have their roots in old danish. Because the danish vikings settled in parts of england, and "Forced" the danish languge into english.... If you take words like "husband" it comes from the old danish word hùsbondí another word "they" which is the danish word "de"
English citys that end on By... Like Grimsby! are most likely named by a viking settler, whos name was "Grim" Grimsby (By = town) Grimstown
Thats why there are so many similarities betwen English and danish
