Norsk Salmebok (1985)
''Norsk Salmebok'' (Norwegian Hymnal), published in 1985, was the official hymnal of the Church of Norway from 1985 to 2013. History The hymnal was approved "for use in parishes that adopt it" under a royal resolution of June 29, 1984. The hymnal replaced the 1926 and 1924 hymnals. Work on the hymnal began in 1954. A preliminary result of this was ''Salmer 1973'' (1973 Hymns), which introduced many new songs, such as ballads and rounds, into the church. The final draft was published as NOU 1981:40 "Norsk salmebok. Forslag til ny salmebok for Den norske kirke" (Norwegian Hymnal: A Proposal for a New Hymnal for the Church of Norway). In addition to hymns, it also contains processional songs, Bible verses, Biblical psalms (whose lyrics are Biblical verses), liturgical songs, and chanted prayers. Of the book's 810 hymns (out of total 953 items), 500 were taken from the two previous books, and 310 hymns were new material. Editions Although the hymnal is basically common to both varia ...

Church Of Norway
The Church of Norway ( nb, Den norske kirke, nn, Den norske kyrkja, se, Norgga girku, sma, Nöörjen gærhkoe) is an evangelical Lutheran denomination of Protestant Christianity and by far the largest Christian church in Norway. The church became the state church of Norway around 1020, and was established as a separate church intimately integrated with the state as a result of the Lutheran reformation in Denmark–Norway which broke ties with the Holy See in 1536–1537; the King of Norway was the church's head from 1537 to 2012. Historically the church was one of the main instruments of royal power and official authority, and an important part of the state administration; local government was based on the church's parishes with significant official responsibility held by the parish priest. In the 19th and 20th centuries it gradually ceded most administrative functions to the secular civil service. The modern Constitution of Norway describes the church as the country's "peo ...

Landstads Reviderte Salmebok
''Landstads reviderte salmebok'' (Landstad's Revised Hymnal) was a hymnal authorized for public worship in Norway under the royal resolutions of October 9, 1920 and February 15, 1924. The book was the Church of Norway's official hymnal until 1985, together with ''Nynorsk salmebok''. Under the royal resolution of 1908, Dean Gustav Jensen received a commission to prepare a proposal for the revision of '' Landstads kirkesalmebog'' (Landstad's Church Hymnal) of 1869. Jensen delivered his ''Forslag til en revideret Salmebok for den norske kirke'' (Proposals for a Revised Hymnal for the Church of Norway) in 1915. Even though Jensen wanted to preserve the character at Landstad's hymnal, he made extensive revisions to the hymn selection and the lyrics of the individual hymns. He also included Nynorsk hymns. Starting in 1916, a committee worked on the proposed changes under the leadership of Bishop Jens Frølich Tandberg. The committee put forward a separate proposal in 1918. After the de ...

Norwegian Language
Norwegian ( no, norsk, links=no ) is a North Germanic language spoken mainly in Norway, where it is an official language. Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties; 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 not 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 Age. Today there are two official forms of ''written'' Norwegian, (literally ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bokmål
Bokmål () (, ; ) is an official written standard for the Norwegian language, alongside Nynorsk. Bokmål is the preferred written standard of Norwegian for 85% to 90% of the population in Norway. Unlike, for instance, the Italian language, there is no nationwide standard or agreement on the pronunciation of Bokmål. Bokmål is regulated by the governmental Language Council of Norway. A more conservative orthographic standard, commonly known as ''Riksmål'', is regulated by the non-governmental Norwegian Academy for Language and Literature. The written standard is a Norwegianised variety of the Danish language. The first Bokmål orthography was officially adopted in 1907 under the name ''Riksmål'' after being under development since 1879. The architects behind the reform were Marius Nygaard and Jacob Jonathan Aars. It was an adaptation of written Danish, which was commonly used since the past union with Denmark, to the Dano-Norwegian koiné spoken by the Norwegian urban elite, ...

Nynorsk
Nynorsk () () is one of the two written standards of the Norwegian language, the other being Bokmål. From 12 May 1885, it became the state-sanctioned version of Ivar Aasen's standard Norwegian language ( no, Landsmål) parallel to the Dano-Norwegian written language (''Riksmål''). Nynorsk became the name in 1929, and it is after a series of reforms still a variation which is closer to , whereas Bokmål is closer to ''Riksmål'' and Danish. Between 10 and 15 percent of Norwegians (Primarily in the west around the city of Bergen,) have Nynorsk as their official language form, estimated by the number of students attending ''videregående skole'' (secondary education). Nynorsk is also taught as a mandatory subject in both high school and elementary school for all Norwegians who do not have it as their own language form. History Danish was the written language of Norway until 1814, and Danish with Norwegian intonation and pronunciation was on occasion spoken in the cities (see Da ...

In a narrow sense, it refers to Spanish America plus Brazil (Portuguese America).
