Guess if road signs, bokmål or nynorsk, has ever caused controversies!? And guess, what happened a couple of yeara ago. when the two regions (Fylke), Hordaland and Sogn & Fjordane merged to become Vestland …. with Bergen in the midst of it? And guess if we have to provide exam papers in both?
Not an expert; - but recall it is a synthetic written language built on the basis of many dialects. Very few speak it as spoken. But it should not come as a surprise that written nynorsk has a high degree of similarity to the spoken dialect in Ørsta area (Western Norway), where Ivar Aasen came from.
should be "omic", not "comic" ... or ...?
Nynorsk won lots of support as the new young nation grew after 1814. I had nynorsk as main written language in school.
And now I take it that you are implementing nynorsk in all comic databases and all meta-data resources! .... and as main language for the EMBL!
That's right Ewan! In Norway, we have two versions of written Norwegian, - one: bokmål is a derivative of danish, and the 400 years of danish rule. The other is Nynorsk; actually a synthetic language constructed - by Ivar Aasen - in the 1840-1860s, based on dialects around in Norway.
