What are the official official forms of written Norwegian?
As established by law and government policy, the two official forms of written Norwegian are Bokm��l (literally 'book tongue') and Nynorsk ('new Norwegian'). The official Norwegian Language Council (Spr��kr��det) is responsible for regulating the two forms, and recommends the terms Norwegian Bokm��l and Norwegian Nynorsk in English.[citation needed] Two other written forms without official status also exist. One, called Riksm��l ('national language'), is today to a large extent the same language as Bokm��l though somewhat closer to the Danish language. It is regulated by the unofficial Norwegian Academy, which translates the name as 'Standard Norwegian'. The other is H��gnorsk ('High Norwegian'), a more purist form of Nynorsk, which maintains the language in an original form as given by Ivar Aasen and rejects most of the reforms from the 20th century; this form has limited use.
