3. Nynorsk

Ivar Aasen traveled around Norway during the middle of the 1800th and made a written language based on the different dialects. Today, there is only a minority writing Nynorsk (New-Norwegian) as their first written language. It is a very beautiful language which is often used in poems and other literature but since the majority of people aren’t exposed to it that much they find it quite hard to write.
