Norwegian language North Germanic language spoken in Norway

Norwegian is a North Germanic language spoken mainly in Norway, where it is the official language. Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties, and some Norwegian and Swedish dialects, in particular, are very close. These Scandinavian languages, together with Faroese and Icelandic as well as some extinct languages, constitute the North Germanic languages. Faroese and Icelandic are hardly mutually intelligible with Norwegian in their spoken form because continental Scandinavian has diverged from them. While the two Germanic languages with the greatest numbers of speakers, English and German, have close similarities with Norwegian, neither is mutually intelligible with it. Norwegian is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking Era.

In practice, the publications submit circulation figures through their organizations. The Norwegian Audit Bureau of Circulations usually provides advance recognition based on the figures, and then performs local checks on a portion of the member papers. The approved net circulation figures are of major economic importance to the various publications: they are the decisive factor for income from the advertising market, and are the basis for receiving press subsidies.

The Norwegian Audit Bureau of Circulations has an office in Porsgrunn and it has been headed by Henry Nilsen since 2010. [1] [2] The company is an affiliate member of the International Federation of Audit Bureaux of Circulations. [3]

Circulation is not always the same as copies sold, often called paid circulation, since some newspapers are distributed without cost to the reader. Readership figures are usually higher than circulation figures because of the assumption that a typical copy of the newspaper is read by more than one person.
