Thank you for the important explaination! I'll merge now.
Hello there @FinalForEach. I don't know if thise will work, but I see thou have referred to the Norwegian added today as another dialect. But it is not. We have over 1300 dialects. It is rather another writing standard. A bit of miss-information to call it a dialect. :-) I think a fix to that is for thou to edit your announcement-message to say writing standard instead of dialect.
Thou see, our one language; Norwegian, has two official writing standards. Hence why the locale code is the same;
no
, but the language code is different.NB
meaning Norsk Bokmål, Norwegian Bookspeak. AndNN
meaning Norsk Nynorsk, Norwegian Newnorwegian. We could have had only a singular national writing standard, since Newnorwegian is only used by 10% of us actively. But we have such a wide variety of dialects that we would not have accepted having to be assimilated into a singular national writing standard that does not closely resemble how some of us actually pronounced Norwegian. It is the same story with Scottish English. It is English, but with a different writing standard, inside the same locality of British English.
