We have compiled this list of the most frequently used Norwegian vocabulary words through a statistical analysis of a vast collection of Norwegian-language documents, including news articles and other online articles.
The list is sorted by frequency, with the most commonly used words appearing at the top. This frequency dictionary aims to help language learners prioritize by focusing on the vocabulary words they will most likely encounter in real life.
There are several official forms of the Norwegian language; here, we use Norwegian Bokmål, the most common of the official standards.
Norwegian is a language that has developed from Old Norse; therefore, many of the Norwegian vocabulary words have their roots in Old Norse.
