How to Learn Danish (Dano-Norwegian) - A Manual for Students of Danish (Dano-Norwegian); Based Upon the Ollendorffian System of Teaching Languages, and Adapted for Self-Instruction #230588

Of late years a desire has been shown by certain patriotic Norwegians to secure for their native land a special mother tongue, distinct from that which has for ages been common to the natives of Denmark and Norway. But the attempt to revive the language spoken by Norwegians before the union of their country with Denmark, at the close of the fourteenth century, would seem as impracticable and undesirable in our times, as if Englishmen were to insist upon Incorporating in their written language the various remnants of Old English, which still survive in the local dialects of Cumberland. Dorset, and Somerset.
