Norway

Hey hey! This time I'm going to post about the country I'd love to visit: Norway. It's not just about the music, or the landsape. It just attracts me somehow.

The norwegian flag.

Description

Norway, officially the kingdom of Norway is a nordic unitary constitutional monarchy, located at the west of the Scandinavian Peninsula. It has 4.9 million population and a 385,252 square kilometres area. It's the second least densely populated country of Europe. It's capital is Oslo, and it has an extensive coastline, facing the NA Ocean and the Barents Sea.

Language

The official language in Norway is the norgewian (Bokmal and Nyorsk) 

 

Etymology

Modern etymologysts believe the country's name means "the northward route" (the "way north" or the "north way"), which in Old Norse would have been nor veg or *norð vegr. The Old Norse name for Norway was Nóregr, the Anglo-Saxon Norþ weg and mediaeval Latin Northvegia. The present name of the Kingdom of Norway in Bokmål is "Kongeriket Norge" and in Nynorsk "Kongeriket Noreg", both only a couple of letters removed from the original "northern way": Nor(d)-(v)e.g.
