Why are the dialects spoken in Scania influenced by Danish ?
Spoken in the Swedish province of Scania ( " Skåne " in Swedish ) , the Scanian dialect is considered by some to be a dialect of Danish [ http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=scy], and a related dialect is also spoken in Bornholm , where it is called " East Danish " ( Scania was part of the kingdom of Denmark until 1658 ) .
