Denmark before 1645

East Denmark (Danish: Østdanmark) is a geographical term that refers to the part of Denmark east of Storebælt, including Zealand and Bornholm. From a linguistic and historical point of view the term refers to the area east of the Øresund (the former Danish territories Scania, Halland and Blekinge and Bornholm).[1] The former dialects in Skåneland are accordingly called East Danish (Østdansk).
