Why the fuck does this frozen shithole have two languages
Why the fuck does this frozen shithole have two languages
actually OP, it's really just different degrees of danish
They're not languages, they're written standards for the same language.
theyre pretty much the same
Two? We got five official written languages
How did the red end up in the Oslo area, but also the far north, while blue clustered in the southwest?
Bokmål is basically norwegafied danish, as Oslo is the administrative seat of the country it's historically had a lot to do with Denmark.
Nynorsk is an amalgamation of western dialects so it's most prevalent in the west. The guy who made it paid little attention to northern dialects so it doesn't reflect how they speak and thus they've got little interest in using it.
That's the eastoid cope. He did include both eastern and northern dialects. Nynorsk was also greatly influenced by gammalnorsk (old Norwegian), wich is/was the actual Norwegian language.
because sami's also love in norway
and they have their own language
Which is true
This map does not include sami.
This post is correct Literally just because of romanticism.

funny way of spelling english
>Frozen
Send warm women pls
>American
funny way of spelling should be required by law to be killed on sight. really. I cant wait until we can buy hunting licences for killing americans.
why don't Norwegians just adopt Icelandic?
difficult to do when they're fewer than us
easy you just put one Icelandic master on every plantation with about 8-10 Norwegians thralls
the Norwegian is not allowed to speak their Danish and must only use the master's language
would be nice but we couldn't even get nynorsk during the height of romantic nationalism
Does anyone actually use Nynorsk irl or on the internet? I always thought it was a bit of a meme and not taken that seriously.
God that would be fucking based.
it'll be three after norway gets annexed under the icelandic crown
>brit
>hunt
lel, what are you going to do? parliament has reduced you peasants to slingshots by now
You mean like Swedish and Norwegian are dialects of the exact same langiage, Scandinavian?
There's only one language, they speak Danish.
Around 13% use it.
It was growing before WW2 but after the war the focus was on unification.
One day it will 100% and will kill the eastoids in the streets like the dogs they are.
I guess you could make that comparison.
would you like Norwegian thralls?
I know I do
i shure as hell dont know anyone and if you do you will never be taken seriously anywhere outside that region
thanks for sabotaging the one and only chance we'll ever have at getting our actual language back, bögmåloids
Norway needs to come back under Faroese rule, so they can learn a proper language.
>The distinction between Bokmål and Nynorsk is that while Bokmål has for the most part derived its forms from the written Danish language or the common Danish-Norwegian speech, Nynorsk has its orthographical standards from Aasen's reconstructed "base dialect", which are intended to represent the distinctive dialectical forms
Why do you guys swallow Danish semen?
For reference, Norwegian language is useless and it's just the comedy version of Swedish spoken by a sober Dane.
Disregard it in its entirety and move on with your life.
we desperately need the wisdom and guidance of Sverri in these dark days
He always knew what to do
Eastoids are not human and you should not expect them to behave as such.
how do the two even differ from each other?
this sounds like westoid polemics.
one is 50% intelligible the other is 25% intelligible
>westoids trying to claim their special snowflake dialect hodgepodge as the "ONE TRVE LANGVAGE"
how about no, i'll use my own comfy trøndersk for speaking and boring but functional bokmål for writing
im on the yanks side scots is retarded english and ulster is still british speak english you potato nigger
there isn't that much of a difference nowadays imo because of the watering down of nynorsk.
But reading nynorsk in older books reads like a truly different language from bokmål.
It's really beautiful too which is why the best poetry written in Norway is written in slightly archaic nynorsk
>archaic newnorwegian
>scots is retarded English
it is the other way round.
scots actually keeping to the original pronunciation while English devolved complete.
Do they sound different of have different grammar ? Or is it just a different writing system
Fuck nynorsk desu.
nyrosk is more archaic grammar.
There are lots of different words and it sounds different. The grammar is the same
>actual language
>dykk, dykkar
you didnt even try, some of the words are just so far out i wouldnt understand it without being forced to learn it in school. trøndersk should be the other norwegian language, its closest to both north, west and south as long as its not a inbreed variation from a forgotten valley.
yes, different grammar and words. While it is only a written language there are dialects in the west and north-west that sound much like how nynorsk is written.
>The grammar is the same
doesn't norwegian have 3 genders, while dano-norwegian has 1.
Also, 3 cases vs 1.
?
I have no idea
>dykk
comes from þykkr which was a word in our language yes
>you didnt even try
boi, Ivar Aasen was literally the best man for the job
That's right
ivar aasen was a tryhard, edgy hipster who for all in this world just had to be different, so different that his "new" and constructed norwegian language only felt natural for 13% of norway and that says a lot. good luck speaking a dying minority language.
>muh bokmål is danish language supremacy
>here take some westoid dialect supremacy instead :^)
nynorsk is 90% western dialects and I want 0% to do with it
You don't even have a hunting license for common game, uppercase lacking brainlet, let alone a firearm of literally any kind. I'll be waiting for you in the smokies with a 308. while you get lost hoping to charge us with your fencing shite, you daft bonglet.
>13%
yeah that's the percent of people using it today. I would imagine Ivar's Landsmål certainly "felt natural" for more than 13% in its heyday. Ivar Aasen was a genuine and well-learned man who wanted to revive the Norwegian language in a realistic way, in the same manner many other countries revived theirs at the time. Turns out most Norwegians would rather just keep on sucking that Danish cock. Honestly, the fact that Landsmål didn't become a success is an embarrassing disaster for this country.
also I'm not trying to spread anything, I know perfectly well nynorsk is dying and I'm just lamenting that fact.
see
>he travelled there so he must've gathered words there
"no"
I'm a trønder and nynorsk is even more foreign to me than bokmål.
brits are about as intimidating as the fly on my wall lmao go get a license for your kitchen knife first sissy
you dont really get it do you? nynorsk is a constructed language, C-O-N-S-T-R-U-C-T-E-D. based up on only a few people and what they felt was correct. it might as well been klingon, in fact that actually has some historical value. whatever ivar fucking aasen felt i should write and speak has no value for me, then i rather continue to write a norwegian inlfuensed version of danish. i dont give a shit, its just more convenient and its an actual language instead of a mix of this word from that dialect with another word from another dialect turned into a massive creampie of words no one really use. polish and arabic is much more relevant in norway today than nynorsk ever was.
Denmark-Norway was based. There’s nothing wrong with sucking Danish cock in this case
