Who speaks Norwegian?
Norwegian, like Swedish, is part of the North Germanic group of the Indo-European language family. It is estimated that about 5 million people speak this language.
Interesting to know
Norwegian is a language characterized by heavily accented dialects that indicate where a person is from. There is no single standardized form of pronunciation in Norwegian. In public life, it takes on two forms: Bokmål, spoken by 3.5 million people, and Nynorsk, spoken by approximately 700,000 people.
Norwegian is the official language of Norway. It is also spoken by national minorities in other Scandinavian countries, such as Sweden and Denmark. Additionally, you can find Norwegian-speaking communities in the United States. It’s worth noting that Norwegian is generally understood by speakers of other Scandinavian languages, such as Swedish and Danish.
History of the Norwegian language
The Norwegian language originates from the western dialects of Old Norse. The oldest runic inscriptions date back to the 5th century. Around the 12th century, the Norwegian language began to clearly differentiate from Old Icelandic.
Note
Between the 16th and 19th centuries, the official and literary language in Norway was Danish. It began to dominate in Norway, especially among the elite. In the mid-19th century, in Oslo and some other cities, the dialects of the Norwegian language used by the lower classes and the elite began to diversify. After this period, the Norwegian language gradually assumed the form in which it is known today.
Currently, the Norwegian language has two official forms (standards): Bokmål – “book language”, which can be simplified as the Norwegian form of Danish, mainly used in urban areas (spoken by over 80% of Norway’s population).
The second national language, Landsmål, emerged in 1850 and is now called Nynorsk, meaning «New Norwegian». It was created based on Old Norse and colloquial Norwegian. Nynorsk is spoken mainly in rural areas by less than 20% of the Norwegian population, but both variants are widely accepted. It is used in education and administration. Since 1885, both varieties of Norwegian have had equal rights.
Norwegian in business
Norwegian language skills are valuable primarily for business dealings with Norway. It does not play a significant role on the international stage.
