Knud Knudsen (linguist)

Knud Knudsen (1812 in Tvedestrand - 1895 in Kristiania) was a Norwegian linguist. He was involved in the development of the Riksmål and Bokmål form of the written Norwegian language. He was also one of the first to propose Norwegianization, the rewriting of loanwords into a Norwegian spelling (e.g. turning chauffeur into sjåfør).
