	Nynorsk - Wikipedia
		Nynorsk, før 1929 kalt landsmål, er den ene av to offisielle skriftnormer for norsk.
		Nynorsk brukes i dag av mellom 10 og 15 prosent av befolkningen.
		I 2002 hadde 27 % av kommunene (som tilsammen utgjør 12 % av befolkningen) nynorsk som vedtatt målform versus 37 % bokmål, 36 % var nøytrale i forhold til målform.

	Nynorsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nynorsk ("Neonorwegian") is one of the two officially sanctioned written standards of the Norwegian language.
		For dialects that are equally close to both written standards or differ significantly from both, the choice of orthography may be a political decision by the municipalities, or self-determined by parents in primary and secondary schools where the municipalities teach both, or self-determined by students in tertiary school, colleges and universities.
		Nynorsk was originally intended to draw on all the dialects of Norway and counter the influence by Danish and Low German and thus a hypothetical form of how the language would have evolved without these continental influences.

	Norwegian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Bokmål and Nynorsk were made closer by reforms in 1917, 1938 and 1959.
		Nynorsk has forms that are close to the original Landsmål and forms that are close to Bokmål.

		Nynorsk, also known as landsmål [country language], stems from the native Norwegian dialects that evolved from Old Norse (uninfluenced by Danish), and it is therefore very different from bokmål.
		Both bokmål and nynorsk are employed by the government, the schools, and the mass media, but bokmål is by far the more widely used of the two, especially in education and literature.

	Språkrådet - Nynorsk in Norway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Nynorsk was gradually taken into use by municipalities in the core area, especially as the first generation educated in it came of age and assumed political responsibility.
		Bokmål and Nynorsk have been cultivated in different ways and have become unique literary means of expression, and it seems difficult for those versed in one of them to be able to transcend to the other without feeling that they lose something of themselves linguistically.
		In other words, Nynorsk is felt by its users to be an integral part of their linguistic identity, and this is one of the reasons why it has been maintained for so long in its minority position.

	Lars S. Vikør: The Nynorsk Language of Norway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Nynorsk was officially equalized with Danish in 1885 by a parliamentary decision, and in 1892 it became possible to choose it as a language of instruction in primary schools.
		The strongest Nynorsk centers in the academic world are the Ivar Aasen Institute at the College of Møre og Romsdal (at Volda, close to Ivar Aasen's birthplace), and the Nynorsk part of the Section of Norwegian Lexicography and Dialectology at the University of Oslo.
		Since Nynorsk at the outset had threatened to be confined to a "folkloristic" and backwards-looking linguistic culture, Vinje and Garborg had a decisive role in making it an expression of contemporaneous political and social thoughts and polemics, contributing to the radical and democratizing movement of the time.

	BOKMÅL vs NYNORSK
		This resolution was the legal basis for the subsequent expansion of Nynorsk as an official form of Norwegian first manifested in the school sector.
		As we explained before, Nynorsk had been accepted as the language of instruction in primary schools throughout most of rural Norway outside the southeast by 1940, but it lost ground in large parts of the area during the fifties and sixties.
		At the highest, the proportion of school children using Nynorsk was estimated to be about 34% (in 1944).

	Encyclopedia: Nynorsk
		Nynorsk ("new Norwegian") is one of the two officially sanctioned written standards of Norwegian.
		Nynorsk is modelled on the traditional Norwegian dialects and is considered more of a rural language by some, especially those who write in the majority standard, BokmÃ¥l, which is mainly derived from written Danish.
		Although Norwegians are educated in both BokmÃ¥l and Nynorsk, around 86-90% use BokmÃ¥l or RiksmÃ¥l as their daily written language, and 10%-12% use Nynorsk as theirs.

		Nynorsk has the upper hand in districts where the population is stable and most speak their traditional local dialect.

		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.

	Introduction — History of Norwegian up to 1349
		Nynorsk was still used as an instructional language in the western Norway, and had a strong position.
		The core-area resists the increasing use of Bokmål, arguing that Nynorsk is a symbol of identity and regional pride.
		In the core area Nynorsk is used both formally and informally, and the local dialects are linguistically close to Nynorsk.

		The new radical parliament acknowledged it formally in 1885 as being on a par with Danish, and in 1892 it became possible to choose Nynorsk as a language of instruction in primary schools (as part of a strong expansion of elementary education, especially in the countryside).
		Many of the Nynorsk children change to Bokmål if they move to a Bokmål milieu later in life (and almost all urban centers are dominated by Bokmål), so the actual proportion using Nynorsk is probably less than 15%.
		Nynorsk was traditionally most closely related to the Western and Central dialects, but through the spelling reforms it has grown closer to the three other groups.

	Nynorsk in radio and tv
		The difference between radio and television and the relationship between bokmål and nynorsk is not the issue here, and I won`t discuss the consequences that the growing use of dialect in radio and television might have for the nynorsk language in electronic media.
		Both for the users of bokmål and nynorsk with dialect as their normal tongue, it is much to learn and take into consideration when using speech norms that are not equal with their dialects.
		Journalists speaking nynorsk (or something close to nynorsk) are probably the majority or at least the most important of the rather few known persons "marketing" or practicing spoken nynorsk in public in Norway.

	U.S.ENGLISH Foundation Official Language Research - Norway: Minority groups
		Nynorsk is not a minority language, in fact; it is only spoken a smaller percentage of Norwegians and using it does not disadvantage its speakers.
		After several years of lobbying from Nynorsk organizations, the Primary School Act of 1969 stated that all textbooks for public primary schools were to be published in both a Bokmål and Nynorsk version at the same time and the same price.
		Some people remained opposed to Nynorsk, although they were obliged to study it at school as a secondary language, so it was necessary to adopt a law to secure the rights of Nynorsk users in dealing with the authorities.

		Nynorsk is commonly spoken in parts of Norway such as Bergen.
		First of all: The two major "languages", Nynorsk and Bokmål (Bokmaal) are simply variations of the same language, and they are both essentialy written languages (you see, nobody actually speaks neither Nynorsk or Bokmaal, rather a dialect that bears most resemblance to one or the other).

		Of these two languages, Bokmål (formerly Riksmål, "the language of the nation") is the oldest one, influenced by Danish during the 434-year union of the two nations.
		Nynorsk was created out of the rural dialects about 100 years ago.
		Writing Bokmål or Nynorsk is a matter of choice, already in school pupils decide which language they want as their "main" language - though they will have to study both during 6 or 8 years.

		Sylfest Lomheim’s reflections on nynorsk and translation were both eye-opening as regards the process of development of the literary language and provocative in their assertion that nynorsk will probably only survive as a spoken language and be supplanted by English as a written medium (what does that imply for the future of the Volda program?).
