Nynorsk

Here's my flag for Nynorsk. Because the philosophy of Nynorsk is based on the maximum divergence from Danish, Danish background of the flag is to be replaced with Icelandic, because Icelandic served as inspiration for the language creators. The flag is not rectangular in form, because... Well, that Nynorsk is strange after all.

The Norwegians call Norway "Norge" or "Noreg", because there are two official languages: "Bokmål" and "Nynorsk".

Bokmål has two genders, and Nynorsk has three genders.

I love Nynorsk.

While 85-90% of Norwegians today use Bokmål as their written standard, Nynorsk is only used by about 10-15% of the population. Fosse’s English translator Damion Searls says many Nynorsk speakers see him “as a kind of national hero” for his championing of the language.
