📚The Norwegian language (Norwegian: Norsk), is a North Germanic language of the West Scandinavian branch. Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties, and some Norwegian and Swedish dialects, in particular, are very close. These Scandinavian languages📖, together with Faroese and Icelandic as well as some extinct languages📕, constitute the North Germanic languages🔖. The Norwegian language consists in two distinct and rival norms↔️: Bokmål or Riksmål, also called Dano-Norwegian and Nynorsk or New Norwegian.

➡️During the 15th century, the old Norwegian writing traditions✍🏻 gradually died out after the union of Norway🇳🇴 with Denmark🇩🇰 and the removal of the central government to Copenhagen. In 1814 Norway achieved the independence but the linguistic union🔄 with Danish persisted. Educational problems due to the linguistic distance between Danish and spoken Norwegian and also to sociopolitical matters, stimulated a search🔎 for a national standard language. Ivar Aasen, a self-taught linguist📚, constructed in 1853 a language norm primarily from the dialects of the western and central rural districts. This standard continued the Old Norwegian tradition and was meant to replace Danish, he called it Landsmål, but now it is officially known as Nynorsk. He presented the New Norwegian norm in a grammar, a dictionary and numerous literary texts📚. Finally, in 1885 the New Norwegian was officially recognised as a second national language.
 👉Today, all Norwegians learn to read and write New Norwegian, but only about 20 percent use it as primary written language✍🏻.

❓Did you know that Norway🇳🇴 is the largest exporter of salmon in the world, but the country’s national dish is Fårikål (mutton stew)?

Top Vestland Hotel Reviews

Zander K Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location with a great breakfast buffet to satisfy everyone’s cravings. I arrived around 8:00 Pm, taking the Bergen airport train to Nonneseter train station. Rolling my luggage around the corner, I entered the Hotel to check in. The following morning, after enjoying the breakfast, I walked around the corner to take the 8:08 Am train tours, boat tour and bus tour. Fjord tours photos made it easy to navigate from train to Flan train to boat to bus to train to return to Bergen. After a long day, I walked around the corner from the Nonneseter train station to the hotel."

Bergen Børs Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Let’s start with the down side. You have to drag your luggage up a few steps to get into the hotel. But who cares? This is a very nice hotel in an excellent location near everything you want to see and do. The breakfast is terrific with a huge selection. But what really made our stay is the service we received. Warm and friendly, every staff member made us feel welcome. I highly recommend staying at this property whenever you’re in Bergen. "
