http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Norwegianmalforms.png PS Eastern and Northern dialects were heavily Danishfied during the Danish rule, so they departed from the real Norwegian.
1. Norwegian was originally a (the) West Scandinavian language.
2. Modern Norwegian (all dialects) resembles modern East Scandinavian languages more closely than other West Scandinavian languages. 3. Western dialects have generally kept more traits associated with old West Scandinavian. 4. Bokmål is based on Danish, a East Scandinavian language. 5. Nynorsk is based most on the diaclets with most old West Scandinavian traits. |
