Bokmål

Bokmål is a way of writing words that people in Norway sometimes use. It's like when you write letters to your friends or family, you write it in a certain way so they can understand it better. Bokmål is one of the two main ways people in Norway write words. This way of writing came from a kind of way of talking that people in Denmark used a long time ago, but people in Norway started using it too. This way of writing is different from the other main way of writing, which is called Nynorsk, because it has more words that come from Danish and other languages.
