- Ivar Aasen-sambandet
Ivar Aasen-sambandet (The Ivar Aasen Union) is an umbrella organization of associations and individuals promoting the use of the
Høgnorsk variant of theNorwegian language .History
The union was founded in 1965 as a response to the "
samnorsk " policy (aiming to merge the two languagesNynorsk andBokmål ) prevailing withNoregs Mållag (Norwegian Language Union).In 2002, Norway officially abandoned the samnorsk policy, like the majority of Noregs Mållag did during the 1990's. This decade also saw the revitalization of the Høgnorsk movement, which took place inside of "Noregs Mållag" as well. The split between the two movements was now only organizational, and the Høgnorsk movement no longer looked upon the other part as an enemy; however, it maintained that it had "a certain task" in the common works on the
Norwegian language .External links
