Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".<templatestyles src="Template:Infobox/styles-images.css" />Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". Høgnorsk (Script error: No such module "IPA".;[1] meaning High Norwegian) is a term for varieties of the Norwegian language from Nynorsk that reject most of the official reforms that have been introduced since the creation of Script error: No such module "Lang".. Høgnorsk typically accepts the initial reforms that, among other things, removed certain silent letters of etymological origin, while keeping most of the Script error: No such module "Lang". grammar intact.
Torleiv Hannaas is often credited for introducing the term Script error: No such module "Lang". in an article in 1922.[2] He used it analogously to High German (Script error: No such module "Lang".),[3] pointing out that Ivar Aasen, the creator of Nynorsk orthography, had especially valued the dialects of the mountainous areas of middle and western Norway, as opposed to the dialects of the lowlands of eastern Norway, which Hannaas called Script error: No such module "Lang". (Flat Norwegian, like Script error: No such module "Lang".).
The written High Norwegian language is a tradition originating from the first version of the New Norwegian written language (then called Script error: No such module "Lang".), as it was built by Ivar Aasen and later used by classical New Norwegian authors as Aasmund Olavsson Vinje, Arne Garborg, Olav Nygard and Olav H. Hauge.[4]
The Script error: No such module "Lang". movement grew out of opposition to the official Script error: No such module "Lang". policy which aimed at leveling out the differences between Script error: No such module "Lang". and the other main variety of Norwegian language, Script error: No such module "Lang".. Reforms to this end were carried through in 1938 and 1959. Initially there was considerable resistance to these reforms, but the resulting standard is now widely accepted. Script error: No such module "Lang". is currently supported by Ivar Aasen-sambandet and the activists behind Målmannen, but has relatively few active users.
The basis for the High Norwegian language direction is a wish to preserve the New Norwegian written language as an independent language, free of the strong influence from Script error: No such module "Lang". that today's Nynorsk has.
