I wonder if they sing in norwegian. Archaic nynorsk/Ivar Aasen`s Landsmaal was very similar to swedish. Why? Cause it`s basically the same language. Yup. I think this is sung in Nordstogas dialect/West Telemarksk/archaic norwegian/Ivar Aasen Landsmaal.

@exentr You are right, they sing in Norwegian, in Nordstoga's Telemark dialect. But Ivar Aasen's landsmål is not more similar to Swedish than modern Norwegian is. You must go many centuries back, maybe a thousand years or more, to find that they were the same the language. But in some border districts between Norway and Sweden they speak a mix of the two languages.

@kaarekjohnsen First you need to be more specific. Both bokmål and nynorsk are modern Norwegian. Second we need to keep speach and orthography from eachother. I`m afraid you mix up. Ivar Aasen`s Landsmaal were more similar to contemporary Swedish writings than modern Norwegian and contemporary Swedish are. Modern Norwegian writings is more similar to contemporary Danish. I`d say that it`s amazing how similar Ivar Aasens`s Landsmaal were to contemporary Swedisg. Just amazing!

@exentr Well, I'm not an expert at all, so I think I'll just leave this discussion to the experts.

Sissel is our pride and joy.

@Rorkazak Sorry, but you still have no arguments. Norway does not allow dual citizenship. She is simply Norwegian, and lives in Norway.

And as you correctly stated she was married to Eddie Skoller (past tense) in Denmark. In no way does that make her American, she has only one nationality.

Eddie has lived in Denmark since 1950.

Whatever prizes she has won, does not change her nationality. I know about her collaboration with the choir.

Why can't you just accept that she's not American?!

@exentr Big differences exist too, tho. Norse diphthongs are obligatory (veit, raud, røyk; sw. vet, röd, rök) in Landsm, more seldomly in bokm.

And this is a much more important signal feature in the Norwegian language conflict, than whether the plural of vise/a is visor or viser.

Also, Landsm and to a lesser extend Nyn, preserve palatal g/k before unstressed endings, where Sw doesnt. Landsm byggja, Sw bygga. Landsm mykje, Sw mycket.

[Fjaulnir69]

@exentr Similarities btween Landsmål & Swedish are mostly in grammatical endings

-preserving norse u as o: ei/en visa, visor. Modern nyn/bokm visEr.

-preserving norse a more consequently: ei visa, å byggja; now vise, bygg(j)e are more frequent (esp. in the former)

-plural article optionally with rn: båtaRNe, visoRNe/a (Sw båtarna, visorna; mod Nrw båtaNe, viseNe)
