@evelyn #Bokmål is a think #language of most #Norwegians, but it is not so #Norwegian. It is an #ethnolect of the #Danish language, however Norwegians do not want to know this fact. But #Nynorsk is really Norwegian. Three languages origin from Old #Norse; they are #Icelandic, #Faroese and Nynorsk. I heard that the modern #Icelanders (and only they) can read #manuscripts written in #Norway fifteen #centuries ago, without learning Old Norse.
