Did you know that Norwegian has two official written languages? Even though the Norwegian language is spoken by just five million people, and it’s technically so close to Danish and Swedish that we could consider all these languages as the same language? In this workshop Werner will explain how that happened, and why the Norwegians call it “language war” (språkstriden).
