Norwegian (endonym: norsk ⓘ) is a North Germanic language from the Indo-European language family spoken mainly in Norway, where it is an official language.Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties; some Norwegian and Swedish dialects, in particular, are very close.
Norwegian dialects (dialekter/ar) are commonly divided into four main groups, 'Northern Norwegian' (nordnorsk), 'Central Norwegian' , 'Western Norwegian' , and 'Eastern Norwegian' (østnorsk). Sometimes 'Midland Norwegian' ( midlandsmål ) and/or 'South Norwegian' ( sørlandsk ) are considered fifth or sixth groups.
In Norwegian and Swedish, the contrast is between two tonal accents, accent 1 and 2, which characterise a whole word with primary stress; in Danish, it is between the presence and the absence of the stød (a kind of laryngealisation), which characterises a syllable (though usually a syllable that bears at least secondary stress).
The accent that has been used here as a model is Urban East Norwegian, the pronunciation of the dialect spoken in the Oslo region and most commonly taught to foreigners.
