We are talking about a North Germanic language
that is originally derived from the Old Norse. It
differen�ated itself from Danish in the 19th cen-
tury, as part of the independence movement in
Norway. The language is intelligible with Danish
and Swedish.
The language is obviously primarily spoken in
Norway, where it is the official language. And
there are around 5 million na�ve Norwegian
speakers.
How it Became and Speakers
Norwegian has two forms of wri�en lan-
guage: The Bokmål, the most widely used
form of wri�en Norwegian. And Nynorsk,
used by around 10% of Norway's popula�on.
Both forms are regulated by Norwegian
Council. Other forms of Norwegian include
Riksmal ("na�onal language") and Hognorsk
("High Norwegian").

Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are
very similar owing to their common
history. However, Icelandic is not mutu-
ally intelligible with Norwegian, despite
the two languages being related.
Although both Iceland and Norway
have been dominated by the Danish for
centuries, Iceland was less influenced
by Danish due to its isola�on.
Similari�es
Norwegian is a tonal language, making it sounding lyrical. Tones
are rare in Indo-European languages, and are more commonly
found in Asian languages such as Chinese.
