Talk:Yutte Stensgaard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Name
A recnt revision has been to change Jytte Stensgaard into Jytte Stensgård. All the sources I have read on her, record her as being born Jytte Stensgaard. I could be wrong though. What is the source of this information (out of interest)?

I can explain this. In 1948, Danish followed Norwegian in orthographic reforms. One of them was to change "aa" giving an [ʌ] sound, into the Nordic å. Before logging into Wikipedia, I changed this because I became aware of this. I'm not entirely sure in which context though, whether Jytte/Jutte's surname is affected by it. Sorry if I've caused a little confusion.

Ok. I do not think that it affects Jytte's name as there are still many with 'aa' in their surnames....and it says in surnames the 'aa' is sometimes kept. Sigurd Dragon Slayer
