An introduction to Norwegian dialects

A general experience of many students of Norwegian as a second language is that the spoken language taught in class may differ considerably from the language spoken by many Norwegians. The Norwegian language, like other languages, has several dialectal varieties identified by features related to grammar, vocabulary, intonation and speech sounds. In this book you will find descriptions of six Norwegian dialects: Tromsø, Sandnessjøen, Trondheim, Bergen, Stavanger and Kristiansand.
