Norwegian: Nynorsk...
"Nynorsk, meaning ‘New Norwegian’, is one of two official
forms of the Norwegian language.   However, the other, Riksmål
(‘State language’), or Bokmål, is much more commonly used.
Nynorsk, or Landsmål, a mixture of elements from various
Norwegian rural dialects, was devised in the 19th century by
Ivar Aasen and is now in use throughout many of the rural cen-

tral and western districts of Norway.   A number of attempts have
been made to provide Norwegians with a standard literary
idiom which would accommodate speakers and advocates of
both Riksmål and Nynorsk, but these contrived idioms (known
as Samnorsk) have had no particular success."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only]
