Zusammenfassung This text explores the phonology of Norwegian. At the end of the 14th century Norway was part of Denmark and in 1814 it became part of the monarchy of Sweden. Nationalistic Norwegians sought to reestablish identity by creating a new language, whilst others sought to retain a form close to Danish.
