The LINGUISTIC
CHANGE IN NORWAY

BY P. 0. Bugge, Perth, N. D.
Several American papers, The Path
flnder, The Literary Digest and others,
nave lately contained articles about
an "odd linguistic change in Norway"
Many Of these articles are more or
less misleading and are undoubtedly
written by persons insufficiently ,ac-
quainted with the situation. The
authors of the articles in these publi-
cations assert. that the old language,
Wh1ch was used by the people of
Norway some 500 years ago, before the
country was united with Denmark,
will with some notifications be adopt
ed as the national language Of Nor
way some time this year.
1t may be of interest to readers TO
know the history Of this language
and facts concerning it.
They call it The Landsmaal (pro-
knounced Lands'ma%l) and it original
ed with Ivar Aasen QS13-1S96). He
twas n son OF a poor. peasant farmer
at Sondmore, Norway, and was
brought up to farm work. But Aascn
disliked this work and used every
spare moment of the days, as well as
the nights. to study languages. He
became earnestly interested in the
study of the diA. ect Of his native dis
trict, the Sondnore dialect He wrote
d Dictionary IF Norwegian Dialects
and later, about 1850, a Grammar OF
Norwegian Dialect. Ivar Aasen, by
dint Of wonderful patience and con
centratlon. then commenced the work
Of his life, the creation of The Lauds-
maal.
He Travelled all cver the country and
studied the different dialects Of the
districts, and with all the materials
thus collected, together with the adop-
ton Of many words from the old
Morse saga, he constructed the Lands
maal. With certain notifications this
artificial language is that, which has
ever since been adopted by the people,
who wrote in dialect Like Arne Gar
borg, &. Jansen, T. Tvedt and a few
! others.
From the year 1899 the Landsmaal
has won a great many advocates, and
a few newspapers are published in
this language. Quite lately a Lands
maal theatre has been erected in
Kristiania, and friends of the langu-
age are working eagerly for it's sue
cess.
But that this composite dialect OF
the peasants is to be adopted as the
national language. instead of the
Rigsmaal is far from correct. The
Landsmaal has all the time been
SLfohSly opppsed ny amos every
philologist and writer, particularly
Bjornstjerne Bjornson and Henrik h.
sen, and perhaps still more by the
late Sophus Bugge, professor OF
iinguistics at the university Of Nor
way, a recognized authority. 81 ~
The Rigsmaal is the language
spoken by approximately 95 per cent
Of the population of Norway, and all
dislike the Landsmaal, which they dc
not even understand. While the
Landsmaal has enriched the literary
tongue of the country with many
valuable words and turns of expires
sion, and many beautiful poems have
been written in it, yet right there the
advantage Of it ends. It certainly is
difficult to understand why one should

FEW BARKISES
SO FAR APPEAR

Schafer. N. D., March 7-Judging
from expressions OF voters from vari-
Gus parts Of the county, considerable
interest is being manifested in the
candidates for the state legislature.
Aside from A. A. Stenehjem of Arne-
gard, whit is the only candidate who
has made formal announcement, no
less than five prominent men in the
district are being mentioned as NOS
nective candidates. Two Of these, c..
c. Converse of this place, and s. TIL.
Westdal Of Charlson, we have mem
toned in previous issues under this
heading. The other, three are A. F.
Noble Of. the western part of the coun-
ty, w. &. McClintock of Tioga, and E.
S. Carney of Williston.
John Melland of Estes. it is said, will
be a candidate for the office Of COM
missioner of the First district, to sue
coed A. r. Noble, who has given out
that he will not be a candidate for re-
nomination.
There seem to be no new develop
ments in the register Of deeds situa-
ton. But If you should teal an unus-
ual sound in the direction Of Alexan-
der, we think 1t would be safe to con-
clude that it is just q sizzling Of the
political kettle at that point. We
would not be surprised at definite de-
velopments in the register of deeds
in the next week or two.
