Norwegian (norsk) is a
North Germanic language
spoken primarily in
Norway, where it is an
official language. It is
also spoken as a second
language among
Norwegian-Americans in the
USA, especially in the
central northern states.
Together with Swedish and
Danish, Norwegian forms a
continuum of more or less
mutually intelligible
local and regional
variants (see Danish
language#Classification).
These continental
Scandinavian languages
together with the insular
languages Faroese and
Icelandic, as well as some
extinct languages,
constitute the North
Germanic languages (also
called Scandinavian
languages). Faroese and
Icelandic are hardly
mutually intelligible with
Norwegian in their spoken
form, because continental
Scandinavian has diverged
from them.
