		Although Norwegians are educated in both Bokmål and Nynorsk, around 86-90% use Bokmål as their daily written language, and 10%-12% use Nynorsk, although many of the spoken dialects resemble Nynorsk more closely than Bokmål, mostly in terms of vocabulary and accent.
		The languages now spoken in Scandinavia developed from the Old Norse language, which did not differ greatly between what are now Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish areas.

		The primary language of all cities is Bokmål; the same applies to the relatively thickly populated areas surrounding the Oslo fjord and the lowlands of Eastern Norway.
		Bokmål was developed from the form of Danish that was freely spoken by government officials and by leading social circles in the cities; it therefore had the prestige of being the preferred speech of people with higher education and aspirations.
		Danish and Swedish were not brought into use as written languages until the 12- and 1300s, at a time when Denmark in particular had become removed from the common Nordic foundation.

	Relation between language and identity in the EU (KurdishMedia.com) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Language is one of the most commonly used tools to create the “us” and “them”[4] and to draw the boundaries, which decide who is to be included and excluded.
		While there are good examples of language revival as in Wales and Catalonia, the minority languages are under pressure on both national and supranational levels with the ever-increasing influence of globalisation, homogenisation on supranational level, immigration/emigration and language shift due to the pull effect of economical factors on local level.
		Official languages of member states of the EU are struggling with the expansion of English as the lingua franca and not all nation-states are content with the idea of the erosion of national identities due to factors such as globalisation, immigration and the agitation of minority languages.

	ABOUT DANISH
		Danish is spoken by about 5,3 million people in Denmark, the Faeroe Islands and in Greenland and by about 20,000 people just south of the German border.
		The presence of Danish in Germany goes back to the time before 1864 when the area belonged to Denmark, and the Danish minority south of the German border is very keen on preserving the Danish language through cultural activities, a Danish political party and Danish schools.
		The Danish vocabulary is not based upon an enormous amount of words but it is in principle unlimited, as new words can freely be formed by means of compounding words or deriving from already existing words, eg.

	Overview of the Danish Language to Help You Learn Danish
		The Danish language (Dansk) is the official language of the Kingdom of Denmark, as well as Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
		Along with Norwegian, Swedish, and Icelandic, the Danish language is part of the Northern Germanic branch that comprises the Scandinavian languages.
		Danish began to separate from the other Scandinavian languages about 1000 A.D., and it is clearly the language that has diverged the furthest from Old Norse-- the ancestor of the modern Scandinavian languages.

		Norwegian women were the victims in 80 percent of the cases, with 20 percent being women of foreign background.
		Norwegian women must learn to be, in a very real sense, less "exclusionary." Lebanese male immigrants, fleeing a war-torn wasteland and finding refuge in a land of peace, freedom and opportunity, are inevitably transformed into gang rapists by Australian racism.
		Norwegian diplomats, who are the worst sociopaths of their people - like American diplomats and English diplomats are the worst sociopaths of their peoples - were instrumental in getting the Israelis into the Bloody Oslo which brought them so much horrible suffering and death.

	Language Learning Forum: Swedish, Danish and Norwegian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish are referred to as the "continental Scandinavian languages," in distinction to the insular Scandinavian languages (Icelandic and Faroese).
		Swedish and Norwegian are both sing-song tonal languages, whereas Danish is distinctively atonal and spoken from the back of the throat with many of the muscles in the mouth continuously contracted.
		Swedish and Norwegian undoubtedly sound quite different from each other to native speakers, and after you have learned them you can also distinguish them upon overhearing a snippet of conversation, but I think that all those who are unfamiliar with these languages can be excused for thinking that they sound exactly the same.

	Hausarbeiten.de: Indo-European Linguistics - A study on the basic differences between a Germanic and and a Slavic ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Germanic languages English, German, Dutch, Frisian, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, etc. -that exhibit a degree of similarity with each other, that is not substantially different from the one between Roman languages- no mother language is historically attested from which they might have developed as ´daughters`.
		The importance of the numerals for proving the thesis about Indo-European languages and their relationship to each other, (and probably a derivation of one common source) will become clearer in the third section, where I will mention Franz Bopp, who wrote about the relationship of numerals in different old languages.
		Thought most of the modern languages (especially English and Serbo-Croatian) for a non-linguist seem to be as different from each other as it could be possible, even there you can find a lot of similar words- besides the numerals.

		I think pronunciations are a bit different for some words and the same for others, just like in different dialects of English, but, and this is just my impression, different meanings for the same words is much more widespread in the Scandinavian languages than it is in English.
		The difference among standard Swedish, Danish and the two Norwegian languages is greater than between the standard English of America and, say, Australia, but considerably smaller than the difference between High German and Dutch.
		Most Faroese speak Danish too, as a second language (the Faroese islands were a part of Norway until 1814, from then on, and still, a part of Denmark).

	Norway Apologizes over Muhammad Cartoons \| The Brussels Journal
		The Norwegian Foreign Minister’s e-mail was meant to be confidential and not to be disclosed to the Norwegian public, “because,” as the Foreign Ministry wrote, “that would look rather stupid in the Norwegian press.” Apparently Muslims abroad are more deserving of respect than one’s own citizens.
		Let it be clear that the Norwegian government condemns every expression or act which expresses contempt for people on the basis of their religion or ethnic origin, except those practiced by Muslims, of course.
		The Norwegian government believes that this act of cowardly surrender is important in order to avoid suspicion and conflict, and to avoid an honest anaylis of this issue.

	Differences between how books say something and how people say it...
		But there are a lot of differences between bookish and modern spoken language.
		I think that if fluency is my goal in a language, I wouls shy away from the "bookish" ways of saying things (because while "correct", as your examples show, there are just other ways of actually saying things).
		One and the same word can take different meanings in different slangs: тачка mean a car in common slang, but in programmer's slang it means "a computer", and the phrase "Вчера в тачке мать с ума сошла" (yesterday mother got crazy in a wheelbarrow) actually means "yesterday motherboard had some malfunction in my PC".

	Differences between Fr-CANADA and FR- France (Linguistics)
		In a nutshell, differences are very minor… some differences in punctuation (Fr-FR uses a space before a semicolon, Fr-CA does not), and Fr-Fr tends to use expression in English, like “week-end” which is unacceptable in Fr-CA, etc. Unfortunately no formal guideline seems to exist, only the native speaker own judgment.
		Sylvie, the language we speak here was indeed transported in colonial times and being geographically isolated, it has evolved differently.
		As stated before, the differences involve vocabulary and word combinations as well as punctuation (and of course pronunciation and different meanings for the same word).

	Danish Imams Propose to End Cartoon Dispute \| The Brussels Journal
		Last week a couple of Norwegian papers decided to publish the cartoons in support of the Danish paper while in Denmark moderate Muslims, encouraged by the government’s refusal to be intimidated by the radicals, have distanced themselves from the imams.
		If the Swedish government subsequently follows the position of the Danish and Norwegian governments, refusing to interfere and limit freedom of expression, the position of the radical Danish Muslims, who are looking for international support, will only weaken.
		Our different worlds have completely different values and different comprehensions of society, religions and at lest of caricatures!When I read the article it was already clear for me: We cannot send this pressure of the threats, that have been sent to the Danish and Norwegian papers back to all Imams and Muslims in the world.
