Why hasn't there been any attempt at constructing a common Nordic language? They are already mostly mutually intelligible, and most words in one language exist as archaic ones in the others.
For example, the Swedish word for window is "fönster", while the Danish and Norwegian words are "vindue" and "vindu", respectively. However, an archaic Swedish word for window is "vindöga", lit. wind-eye.
There already exists such a project for the Slavic languages, Interslavic. en.wikipedia.org

The vocabulary and syntax is perfectly intelligible, it's just that they pronounce consonants as if they're vowels.
>fönster
Fönäri
You already speak Russian tho. Why bother?
dialects here are already a mess, no way a unified scandi language will work out
