Norwegian exonyms
"Below is list of Norwegian language exonyms for places outside of Norway :"
Places in Denmark are in Norway spelt like in Danish. Also for places with "Aa" which during the latter half of the 20th century were spelt "Å" in Denmark, and then changed back to "aa". Thus Aabenraa and some more places are spelt with "aa" also in Norway. The same sound is spelt "Å" for places in Norway.Until quite recently, most people tended to use the official Swedish names in Norwegian. The Swedish names are not exonyms, since both Finnish and Swedish are official languages in Finland, with many towns, cities and regions having two, often very different, official names. In recent years, however, the use of Finnish place names have gained some popularity in Norwegian.
