The Norwegian Language Council (Norwegian: Norsk språkråd, 1972–2004) was the regulation authority for the Norwegian language. It has been superseded by The Language Council of Norway (Norwegian: Språkrådet).
The council had 38 members, and created lists of acceptable word forms. Some words have two forms, the official form which must be used in government documents and textbooks, and optional forms, which can be used by students in state schools.[1]
Marius Sandvei, known for his long-term editing of the Norwegian normative dictionary Tanums store rettskrivningsordbok, was a member from its foundation in 1952 to 1959.[2]
