Definition

Noun: * Landsmaal: One of the two official written standards of the Norwegian language. It was constructed in the 19th century by Ivar Aasen based on a synthesis of rural Western and Central Norwegian dialects, with the intention of creating a distinct Norwegian language less influenced by Danish. It is now officially known as Nynorsk.

Usage
  • Landsmaal is a proper noun used to refer specifically to this constructed language standard. It is often discussed in historical, linguistic, or political contexts concerning Norwegian language planning and identity.
    • The poet championed the use of Landsmaal as a true expression of Norwegian rural culture.
    • A key goal in developing Landsmaal was to create a written language closer to spoken Norwegian dialects.
Advanced Usage

    • The 19th-century language movement that created Landsmaal is a fascinating chapter in Norway's national revival.
