If you look carefully in the distance, you can see Burzum torching a church!

what's the difference between nynorsk and bokmal

(imagine this being pronounced in an american/canadian accent...)

they're two written languages. nynorsk is based on the dialects in norway, while bokmål is more like danish. they were invented during the 19th century, and they're both being used today. bokmål is a lot more popular than nynorsk however, and many pupils don't like being forced to learn them both

ivar aasen traveled around norway, listening to how people talked, and then made a dictionary based on the most common forms, or the most traditional ones. he later made a nynorsk grammar. he also wrote poetry and--i think--articles for a newspaper. he at least reviewed everything that went into the first nynorsk newspaper. the language he made was called landsmaal until the language reform of 1907

knud knudsen based bokmål on how rich people in the cities talked, which was heavily influenced by danish. the language was called riksmaal previously
