خلفية ثقافية
Norwegians are very proud of their local dialects. 'Snakke norsk' means being prepared to hear many different versions of the language, all of which are considered 'correct.' The 'Norskprøve' (Norwegian test) is a major milestone. For many, 'å snakke norsk' is the key to permanent residency and citizenship. Even in international companies where English is the official language, 'lunchroom Norwegian' is common. Being able to 'snakke norsk' helps you join the social life at work. Many Sami people are bilingual, speaking both a Sami language and Norwegian. 'Snakke norsk' is often their second language used for wider communication.
