Why would you prefer to say Scandinavian than Northern Germanic?
By the way, since you have them in your profile.. what do you think that the Cimbri were? |
I myself live in the region that the Cimbri originated, and have family in Himmerland, that take pride in the family tales of being descendants of the original Cimbri.
I am not sure what the Cimbri "were", when it comes to linguistics.
But the uncertainty associated with the Cimbri is exactly a good reason to refer to "North Germanic" tribes as "Scandinavian tribes", and "Germanic paganism" as "Scandinavian paganism", because thats where it originates - same with Viking culture.
