Re: Norwegian Resources (version 2.01)
I don't think this is completely correct:
I would formulate it like this:
- Norwegian is the official language. It's got two standard forms of written language: Bokmål and Nynorsk.
- Saami enjoys a special status as an indigenous language, and is used as an official language in several municipalities alongside Norwegian
- In addition to Saami there are some minority languages that Norway is committed to preserve: Kven, Romani, Romanes.

https://www.sprakradet.no/Spraka-vare/Minoritetssprak/
About Høgnorsk: This is a very conservative variant of Nynorsk, and I don't think anyone really uses this. On the other end of the spectrum there is Riksmål, a conservative variant of Bokmål.
Languages of Norway
There are many languages spoken in Norway. Of these, the Norwegian language is the most widely spoken and the main official language of the country. A short list of other languages spoken in Norway would include: Bokmål, Nynorsk, Høgnorsk, Sami languages, Kven, Romani, Rodi, as well as several foreign languages. – Source: Wikipedia

Re: Norwegian Resources (version 2.01)
Apologies if already mentioned above and I missed it; but I've been playing a little with Norwegian during the lockdown and came across what has to be the best free pronunciatuon resource I've ever seen (apart from access to a very patient native speaker lol). Only thing I've ever seen that even comes close is FSI German.
https://calst.hf.ntnu.no/Home/lessons
Particularly useful as (spoiler alert) pronunciation seems to be the only difficult thing about this language so far. Certainly the grammar and vocabulary seem so far to be probably the easiest of any language I've seen so far (although the possessives are cool); but the pronunciation is fiendish.
