In 2010, 86.5% of the pupils in the primary and lower secondary schools in Norway receive education in Bokmål, while 13.0% receive education in Nynorsk. From the eighth grade onwards, pupils are required to learn both. Out of the 431 municipalities in Norway, 161 have declared that they wish to communicate with the central authorities in Bokmål, 116 (representing 12% of the population) in Nynorsk, while 156 are neutral. Of 4,549 state publications in 2000, 8% were in Nynorsk, and 92% in Bokmål. The large national newspapers ({{Lang|no|[[Aftenposten]], [[Dagbladet]]}}, and [[Verdens Gang|''VG'']]) are published in Bokmål or Riksmål. Some major regional newspapers (including {{Lang|no|[[Bergens Tidende]]}} and ''[[Stavanger Aftenblad]]''), many political journals, and many local newspapers use both Bokmål and Nynorsk.

A newer trend is to write in dialect for informal use. When writing an SMS, Facebook update, or fridge note, many people, especially young ones, write approximations of the way they talk rather than using Bokmål or Nynorsk.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kornai |first1=András |title=Digital Language Death |journal=PLOS ONE |date=2013 |volume=8 |issue=10 |page=e77056 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0077056|pmid=24167559 |pmc=3805564 |bibcode=2013PLoSO...877056K |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Dewey |first1=Caitlin |title=How the Internet is killing the world's languages |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/12/04/how-the-internet-is-killing-the-worlds-languages/ |access-date=30 April 2020 |agency=The Washington Post |date=2013 |archive-date=31 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210131235733/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/12/04/how-the-internet-is-killing-the-worlds-languages/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
