Traditional districts of Denmark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The traditional districts of Denmark differ from the country's administrative subnational units in that their delimitation may vary, since their existence and extent are usually not defined by law but rather by dialect, folklore and local identity. History, ethnicity, language and religion tend to play a much greater role in defining such regions elsewhere, than what is the case in small homogenous countries such as Denmark. The following list is to a large extent overlapping.
- Bornholm
- Djursland
- Fyn
- Hanherred
- Himmerland
- Hornsherred
- Lolland-Falster
- Nordsjælland
- Salling
- Sønderjylland
- Stevns
- Thy
- Vendsyssel
