Isn't that just a pronounciation thing though?
Wales is fairly similar. I have a friend you says 'by yere' for 'here'.

I like how one of the most northerly town in Britain is called 'Sutherland'

He said it was closer to original English
which is not a Scandinavian language, so I don't quite understand why a bunch of Danes would keep the original pronunciation.
