Editing Bergen (section)

===Toponymy===
Bergen is pronounced in English {{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|ɜːr|g|ən}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|ɛər|g|ən}} and in [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] {{IPA|no|ˈbæ̀rɡn̩||Bergen.ogg}} (in [[Bergensk|the local dialect]] {{IPA|no|ˈbæ̂ʁɡɛn|generic=yes|}}). The [[Old Norse]] forms of the name were {{lang|non|Bergvin}} {{IPA|non|ˈberɡˌwin|}} and {{lang|non|Bjǫrgvin}} {{IPA|non|ˈbjɔrɡˌwin|}} (and in [[Icelandic language|Icelandic]] and [[Faroese language|Faroese]] the city is still called {{lang|is|Björgvin}}). The first element is {{wikt-lang|non|berg}} (n.) or {{lang|non|bjǫrg}} (n.), which translates as 'mountain(s)'. The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|vin}} (f.), which means a new settlement where there used to be a pasture or meadow.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Brekke |first=Nils Georg |title=Kulturhistorisk vegbok Hordaland |publisher=Hordaland Fylkeskommune |year=1993 |isbn=82-7326-026-7 |location=Bergen |page=252 |language=no}}</ref> Bergen is often called "the city among the seven mountains". The playwright [[Ludvig Holberg]], inspired by the [[seven hills of Rome]], decided that his home town must be blessed with a corresponding seven mountains, though locals debate which seven they are.

In 1918, there was a campaign to reintroduce the Norse form ''{{lang|non|Bjørgvin}}'' as the name of the city. This was turned down – but as a compromise, the name of the [[diocese]] was changed to ''{{lang|no|[[Diocese of Bjørgvin|Bjørgvin bispedømme]]}}''.<ref name="bispedoeme">{{Cite web |year=2004 |title=Bjørgvin bispedøme |url=http://www.scandion.no/article/archive/826/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071226020759/http://www.scandion.no/article/archive/826/ |archive-date=26 December 2007 |access-date=10 October 2007 |publisher=Scandion.no |language=no}}</ref>
