Learn Norwegian

Norwegian is a descendant of Old Norse and is mutually intelligible with Danish and Swedish. It also shares similarities with Icelandic and Faroese. There are two official written standards of Norwegian - Nynorsk and Bokmål - each with variations in vocabulary, spelling and grammar. A significant majority of the population uses Bokmål, and so does uTalk. There is, however, no standardised spoken Norwegian, so people will speak in their own dialects - of which Norway has many - in both formal and informal settings.
