📚The Norwegian language (Norwegian: Norsk), is a North Germanic language of the West Scandinavian branch. Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties, and some Norwegian and Swedish dialects, in particular, are very close. These Scandinavian languages📖, together with Faroese and Icelandic as well as some extinct languages📕, constitute the North Germanic languages🔖. The Norwegian language consists in two distinct and rival norms↔️: Bokmål or Riksmål, also called Dano-Norwegian and Nynorsk or New Norwegian.

➡️During the 15th century, the old Norwegian writing traditions✍🏻 gradually died out after the union of Norway🇳🇴 with Denmark🇩🇰 and the removal of the central government to Copenhagen. In 1814 Norway achieved the independence but the linguistic union🔄 with Danish persisted. Educational problems due to the linguistic distance between Danish and spoken Norwegian and also to sociopolitical matters, stimulated a search🔎 for a national standard language. Ivar Aasen, a self-taught linguist📚, constructed in 1853 a language norm primarily from the dialects of the western and central rural districts. This standard continued the Old Norwegian tradition and was meant to replace Danish, he called it Landsmål, but now it is officially known as Nynorsk. He presented the New Norwegian norm in a grammar, a dictionary and numerous literary texts📚. Finally, in 1885 the New Norwegian was officially recognised as a second national language.
 👉Today, all Norwegians learn to read and write New Norwegian, but only about 20 percent use it as primary written language✍🏻.

❓Did you know that Norway🇳🇴 is the largest exporter of salmon in the world, but the country’s national dish is Fårikål (mutton stew)?

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, comfortable beds and amazing breakfast! Staff were super friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back!"

Scandic Torget Bergen

Scandic Torget Bergen

10/10 Excellent

"Unbeatable location for a short stay. Our family room had a view of the harbour, Bryggen & Fløyen. And we could easily walk to all. Great transport links nearby, too. The breakfast was great. We could fill up to keep us going all day. The staff was warm and welcoming. We even availed of the cozy, if somewhat small, bar/laounge in the evenings with its open fire. Not the first Scandic I've stayed in and not the last. "
