Yes, especially when talking about languages and culture although these countries have many geographic, economic and social similarities. Same with Iceland, although Icelandic is Germanic. Even if so, Finnish is an officially recognized minority language of Sweden with almost 500,000 speakers. Then again, probably Arabic will overtake Finnish as largest minority language soon but I would hesitate before calling it a Scandinavian language.
