Danization

/ˌdænɪˈzeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The process of converting to Danish culture, language, or traditions; the adoption or assimilation of Danish characteristics.

Etymology

From 'Dan-' (relating to Denmark or Danish) plus the suffix '-ization' (indicating a process of becoming or being made into something).

Kelly Says

Like 'Anglicization' or 'Americanization,' danization describes how cultures influence each other — it's most relevant in Scandinavian history where Danish culture spread throughout the Nordic region.
