Most of the people in Norway speak Norwegian, a Scandinavian Germanic language closely related to Danish. There are two variants of the language: official Norwegian [''Bokmål'' or ''Riksmål''] strongly influenced by Danish; and country speech [''Landsmål''] also called new Norwegian [''Nynorsk''] which is based on local dialects. There are also communities of Lapps or Laplanders and Finns who came to Norway thousands of years ago. Many minority languages are now found among the recent immigrants. | Most of the people in Norway speak Norwegian, a Scandinavian Germanic language closely related to Danish.
