Norwegian-Bokmål

Norwegian-Bokmål is the most commonly used of the two official written standards of Norwegian (the other is Nynorsk}. Bokmål is used by around 85% of the population (regardless of dialect) and is the standard most commonly taught to foreign students of Norwegian language. It has to be underlined that Bokmal is a written standard only. It is not based on any spoken dialect and it draws its lexicon and syntax from West and East Scandinavian languages.
