Foreign language statistics

I came to this article looking for statistics on how many residents of Norway speak English, French, Arabic, etc. -- Beland 16:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Is Danish really a main foreign language in Norway??? 85.166.5.222 (talk) 20:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be mentioned the growing number of immigrant languages such as Urdu? Immigrants are making up a larger part of the populations now then what the Kven and Romani peoples. There are probably more Urdu speaking people in Oslo alone than all Kven and Romani combined. There are also other large immigrant languages. --Skippern (talk) 18:27, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Have a look at this link for some statistics like what countries have contributed the most to our immigration and so one. And well, Danish is the language of the people that ruled us for 400 years and of one of the countries that's the closest to us in distance making travel between the countries for work fairly common (particularly after we found oil), the Kvens, the Forest finns and the Romani peoples are all people with historic connections to the country, but I'm sure that Urdu and so one will get official recognition in a couple of hounded years time... And the Sami people predates norwegians in large parts of the country so we can't exactly ignore them... Luredreier (talk) 08:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Minor edit

I moved one of the maps from the left hand side to the right hand side because it's previous position caused it to displace some of the text in a non-aesthetic way. Luredreier (talk) 08:34, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Opposite meaning

I have changed

====Høgnorsk==== A more conservative variation of Nynorsk exists, called Høgnorsk. It has few active users, but is supported by the Ivar Aasen-sambandet organization, founded in 1965 to promote Samnorsk.

into

====Høgnorsk==== A more conservative variation of Nynorsk exists, called Høgnorsk. It has few active users, but is supported by the Ivar Aasen-sambandet organization, founded in 1965 in response to the samnorsk policy of the government at the time.

As the former is downright false and contradict both this article and other articles that this one is linked too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luredreier (talk • contribs) 08:58, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

ISO language codes?

Greetings, authors. For purposes of software localization, I'm looking to see a clear and authoritative assignment of ISO language codes to all the Norwegian languages and variants as described in the article. Is it possible to add them in a paragraph? I think I could find the appropriate standard assignments myself, but any help from native speakers would be much appreciated. --ulidtko (talk) 15:25, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Rodi

There is no documented speakers of Rodi in Norway. The language is, and had been dead for a while. If anyone can prove otherwhise, I would be overjoyed. But I must insist that the article is wrong in claming that it is alive. 2001:4646:626A:0:7DDF:9245:B05A:535D (talk) 01:06, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

The "foreign languages" section

The paragraph in the "foreign languages" section does not quite match the contents in the table. Of course, there may be some time aspect etc. but how could they be so different from 2012 to 2017? 130.238.112.129 (talk) 19:25, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
