Editing Nynorsk (section)

== Spoken Nynorsk ==
Nynorsk is first and foremost a written language form but it does appear as a spoken language. Spoken Nynorsk is often referred to as normed Nynorsk speech.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sprakradet.no/Vi-og-vart/Publikasjoner/Spraaknytt/Arkivet/Eldre/Normering_av_nynorsk_talemaal/ |date=1983 |first1=Kjell |last1=Venås |title=Normering av nynorsk talemål|website=Språkrådet|language=no|access-date=2018-07-22}}</ref> Bokmål speech in [[Eastern Norway]] often conforms to [[Urban East Norwegian]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Languages in the European Information Society |publisher=META-NET |first1=Koenraad |last1=De Smedt |first2=Gunn Inger |last2=Lyse |first3=Anje Müller |last3=Gjesdal |first4=Gyri S. |last4=Losnegaard |url=https://meta-nord.w.uib.no/files/2012/01/bokmaal-main_v10kds.pdf |access-date=9 October 2023 |website=META-NORD}}</ref> whereas Bokmål speech in [[Bergen]] and [[Trondheim]] is called ''pen-bergensk'' (lit. fine Bergenish) and ''pen-trøndersk'' (lit. fine Trondheimish), respectively. Normed Nynorsk speech is mostly used in scripted contexts, like news broadcasts from television stations, such as [[NRK]] and [[TV 2 (Norway)|TV2]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.firda.no/sportsanker-fekk-mediemalpris/s/5-15-54261|title=Sportsanker fekk mediemålpris|date=2015-04-21|work=www.firda.no|access-date=2018-07-22|language=no}}</ref> It's also widely used in theaters, like [[Det Norske Teatret]] and by teachers. Since the 1970s, the motto of the Nynorsk movement has largely been "speak dialect, write Nynorsk", which has marginalized the use of normed Nynorsk speech to mainly scripted contexts. This is in contrast to the normed Bokmål speech which many speakers use in all social settings. Outside of scripts, it is quite common to rather speak a Norwegian dialect. Compared to many other countries, dialects have a higher social status in Norway and are often used even in official contexts.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NJgECwAAQBAJ&q=high+status+norwegian+dialects&pg=PR15|title=Colloquial Norwegian: The Complete Course for Beginners|last1=O'Leary|first1=Margaret Hayford|last2=Andresen|first2=Torunn|date=2016-05-20|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781317582601|language=en}}</ref> At the same time, it is not uncommon for dialect speakers to use a register closer to the Nynorsk writing standard when deemed suitable, especially in formal contexts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sprakradet.no/svardatabase/sporsmal-og-svar/nynorsk-som-talemal/|title=Nynorsk som talemål|website=Språkrådet|language=no|access-date=2018-07-22}}</ref>
