Norsk
Norwegian
North Germanic language spoken primarily in Norway. The language includes two official written forms:
Bokmål ("Book language", the majority (c. 90%) written form)
Nynorsk (literally "New Norwegian", a written form of the language created in the 19th century from traditional Norwegian dialects, and used by about 10% of the population of Norway).
For the elements, only the name for Copper differs in both forms: Kobber in Bokmål and Kopar in Nynorsk.
5 million speakers.
Additions to the element names:
² = alternative form
† = form no longer in use.
N.B. Because of the use of UTF8-encoding, accented letters (È, á, ô, etc.) are not alphabetized in the correct way.
