61. I type G and then hot Alt and type 129 trying to get a u mit umlaut
but all I get are the numbers and if I type in Alt and then type 129 all I get is Alt129. Maybe my PC does not understand these things. I have been trying for about ten minutes now!

69. Bokmål or Nynorsk?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_language

As established by law and governmental policy, there are currently two official forms of written Norwegian – Bokmål (literally "book language") and Nynorsk (literally "new Norwegian"). The Norwegian Language Council recommends the terms "Norwegian Bokmål" and "Norwegian Nynorsk" in English, but these are seldom used. The language question in Norway has been subject to much controversy during the past generations. Though not reflective of the political landscape in general, written Norwegian is often described as a spectrum ranging from the conservative to the radical. The reason is that successive spelling reforms have resulted in an increased number of optional forms in spelling and grammar, allowing for greater possibility of combining elements from both written forms, particularly in the Bokmål variant. The current forms of Bokmål and Nynorsk are considered moderate forms of conservative and radical versions of written Norwegian, respectively.

Throw in Riksmal, and you end up with the saying "Every Norwegian knows four languages -- and three of them are Norwegian!"
