Bokmål

Bokmål is one of the two official written standards of the Norwegian language, primarily used in Norway. It evolved from Danish during a period when Norway was under Danish rule, incorporating Norwegin influences over time. Bokmål resembles everyday Norwegian speech and is commonly used in government, education, and media. It offers a formal and standardized way to write Norwegian, making it easier for Norwegians and others to communicate clearly. Alongside Nynorsk, Bokmål helps preserve the country’s linguistic diversity while providing a practical written language for daily use.
