Specific to Norwegian

Things that are only true of Norwegian in NoaLingua

  • Norwegian grammar comes from UniMorph’s `nob` dataset — Bokmål, chosen over the much smaller Nynorsk (`nno`). If you are learning Nynorsk, the tables will not match what you read.
  • Norwegian UniMorph is 3 MB; the kaikki dictionary exists but its size has never been measured.
  • Norwegian is one of six supported languages the punctuation model does not cover.
Setting up for Norwegian Choose Norwegian as the language you are learning in the extension popup or Settings → Languages. Packs begin downloading immediately and in the background — leave the browser open for 15 to 30 minutes and check the corner of the screen. When it goes quiet, everything is local.

Common questions about NoaLingua

Does NoaLingua work for Norwegian?

Norwegian is one of the 28 languages in the learning and translation selectors, and 5 of its ten capability axes are verified. The table on this page shows exactly which ones — including the ones that are documented as absent.

Can I get grammar tables for Norwegian?

Yes. 3 MB Conjugation and declension tables open at the exact form you clicked.

Does Norwegian work offline?

Yes, once the packs finish downloading. Expect to leave the extension running 15 to 30 minutes after choosing your languages.

What does “not documented” mean in the table?

That we have not verified it ourselves, so we will not claim it either way. It is not the same as “no”. Several of those columns depend on data Chrome owns and does not publish per language.
