History of Norwegian
Norwegian descended from Old Norse but was heavily influenced by Danish during 400 years of union. After independence in 1814, two written standards emerged: Bokmål (based on Danish-influenced urban speech) and Nynorsk (based on rural dialects). Most Norwegians use Bokmål, but both are official.
Is Norwegian Hard to Learn?
