| | Ivar Aasen-tunet - Peter Hallaråker: The Nynorsk language - yesterday |
 | | As far as the legal status of Nynorsk within government administration is concerned, an Act of Parliament was passed in 1930, which was replaced by a new law in 1981, regulating the use of the two languages in all kinds of government administration - local, regional and central. |
 | | At the highest, the proportion of school children using Nynorsk was estimated to be 34% in 1944, 25% in 1955, 20% in 1965, 18% in 1970. |
 | | Nynorsk makes consistently use of three genders in accordance with the Norwegian dialects with the exception of the dialect of the City of Bergen, whereas traditional Bokmål quite frequently, depending on the style, may use only two, i.e., a "common gender" for feminine and masculine nouns, and the neuter gender. |
