Norwegian (Norsk) is a Germanic language spoken In Norway. It is a very close relative Swedish and to the Danish language. However, there is no single literary language in Norway, but the official languages are Norwegian (bokmål) and Neo-Norwegian (Nynorsk), two quite different literary languages of distinct origin, which are clearly different and whose supporters have occasionally encountered bitter language disputes. This dictionary is in New Norwegian.
