>>>>Which do you speak and write? Bokmål or Nynorsk? Are both taught in school and used in news broadcasts/television/movies?

>>>I speak and write Bokmål. Nynorsk is not an original language, it's a mix of several dialects from around Norway, and nobody really spoke Nynorsk a few hundred years ago. You can read more about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Nynorsk, it's an interesting story behind it. Where I live, everyone has to learn Nynorsk as a second language, and it's not very popular, to say the least.

>>>The similarity between Bokmål and Nynorsk is high, and most people think it's a waste of time to have to also learn Nynorsk. If your first language is Nynorsk, you have absolutely no problems understanding Bokmål, and vise versa. The difference is very similar to the difference between Scottish and English. The time spent learning Nynorsk could have been much better spent learning English better, or another language like German or French. But this is a "district political" matter, where feelings are 99% and common sense is 1%.
