This article reads - at least to me - as extremely subjective, almost to the point of being a publicity statement. It has no independent references about the Lewis Model specifically, and no references at all apart from the individual's website and memoirs. This is especially clear in the language used, which presents the Lewis Model in terms of acceptance by the general public, clearly not following Wikipedia:NPOV. As far as I know, this model is not accepted by academics in anthropology, sociology, or language practices. If it is as widely accepted as the article currently implies, this should be supported by verifiable sources. WmGB ( talk) 14:43, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
I agree, although I guess this "model" can be described, if cited but should have a caveat similar to what you say. I've added citation tagsfor now, and removed a lot of the other gumpf. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.209.96 ( talk) 17:27, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
According to a study conducted by Lars-Olof Delsing and Katarina Lundin Åkesson published in 2005, mutual intelligibility of Scandinavian languages is approximately 50% on average. [1] Based on the results of this extensive study, it is contentious to state that knowing either Norwegian, Swedish or Danish automatically infers the possession of the other North Germanic languages. The study also contains detailed tables on how native youth from different Scandinavian cities performed at the tests on how well they understand other Continental Scandinavian languages.
