 The lambda calculus is a formal system for expressing computation using function
 application and abstraction invented by Alonzo Church in the 1930s. It is a
 universal model of computation.

+* Norwegian
+
+Norwegian is a North Germanic language.
+
+** Bokmål and New Norwegian
+
+There are two written forms, bokmål (book tongue) and nynorsk (new
+norwegian). Bokmål came from Denmark, as under their rule they forced the
+Norwegian population to write in Danish. This has led to bokmål as a written
+variant with many similarities to that language. The other variant, nynorsk, was
+invented by Ivar Aasen. He travelled around the country and collected samples of
+regional dialects, creating a written form of Norwegian which would mimic the
+spoken variants.
+
+I write bokmål. New Norwegian features many more diphtongs than bokmål and has a
+vastly different vocabulary.
+
+** Alphabet
+
+The letters are pronounced as monophtongs by themselves in most cases, unlike
+the diphtong pronounciation of some letters in English (like 'a').
+
+Norwegian and other Scandinavian languages have 3 additional vowels, æ (like the
+'a' in 'can'), ø (like the 'u' in 'purse'), and å (like the 'o' in 'floor').
+
+** Dialects
+
+Norwegian has no standard way of speech, and the regional dialects reflect
+this. The dialects originated because of the difficulty of moving between
+different parts of the country, due to factors like the mountains. This lead to
+sealed off areas where dialects were able to flourish. It is unknown how many
+there are, however they tend to resemble the ones they are close to.
+
+** Other
+
+Although unofficial, hen is the de-facto gender neutral pronoun in Norwegian.
