I live in Norway and i couldn't agree more, I have found many words identical or close to german, and many affected by it. (I am half german so I know some.) Norwegian dialects from north in norway, since southern Norway is affected by Danish wich doesn't sound like most barbarian languages(IMO). north of Trondheim i recommend should do it.
