== Translation of sannsynlighetsmaksimeringsestimator ==

The English translation for "sannsynlighetsmaksimeringsestimator" is given as "maximum likelihood estimator".

On analysing both words I understand their meanings as follows:

* sannsynlighetsmaksimeringsestimator = estimator of the maximization of the probability;
* maximum likelihood estimator = estimator of the maximum probability.

So I propose to change the translation into "likelihood maximization estimator. Any objections?] (]) 17:19, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Norwegian and Google Translate

So what dialect does Google Translate Use? Myrrhfrankincensegold (talk) 21:24, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Dialects are spoken. Nynorsk and Bokmål are written. They use Bokmål. They try to translate from Nynorsk (to, for example, English). The result is often not good (and sometimes is hilarious). --Hordaland (talk) 03:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Machine translation

Is machine translation between, say, Nynorsk and Bokmal trivial or is it a difficult problem? --Error (talk) 16:24, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

There are just minor differences between them in grammar and vocabulary. I assume it should be about the same complexity as translating between Swedish and Norwegian Bokmål. Stusslig (talk) 21:46, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

section: Danish to Norwegian. Split?

At the top of the section "Danish to Norwegian" there is a box, dated January 2017, where it says: "It has been suggested that this article be split into a new article titled Samnorsk. (Discuss.)"

The "Discuss" link sends one here, but no one has started a discussion nor explained why it has been "suggested" that the article should be split. If you are the one who added the proposal, you should start a discussion here or remove the notice. --Hordaland (talk) 03:33, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

"disputed" in the infobox

There are no language "disputed", please remove that. Jeblad (talk) 14:30, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

I think they are there to reflect that Norwegian can either be considered as belonging together with Swedish and Danish, with which it is mutually intelligible, or as belonging together with Icelandic and Faroese, which share a more recent common origin. But it seems then somewhat odd to put it above "Continental Scandinavian", as the Norwegian language conflict is not in any way about where Continental Scandinavian belongs within North Germanic. Just having Continental Scandinavian there is picking sides in the "conflict". Ters (talk) 16:47, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Norwegian language. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Lead length

To reiterate what I just included in edit summaries when I added the {{Lead too long}} tag, as it's involved enough to mention here: The lead contains four paragraphs that are all primarily, or almost entirely, about the breakdown between Bokmål and Nynorsk. Meanwhile, the section dedicated to Bokmål and Nynorsk consists of only two short paragraphs. Taking MOS:LEADLENGTH into consideration, even if several general observations associated with Bokmål and Nynorsk and other breakdowns of the language merit mention in the lead, their coverage there should be tightened up considerably, with the details moving to the body of the article.
