Torleiv Hannaas (14 July 1874 – 19 November 1929) was a Norwegian philologist.
He was born in Hornnes as a son of farmers Thomas Nilsson Hannaas (1843–1915) and Anne Tolleivsdotter Vetrhus (1845–1944). In July 1906 he married teacher Ingerd Yttreland (1879–1954).[1] Their daughter Liv married banker Erik Hiis Hauge.[2] Torleiv Hannaas died in November 1929 in Fana.[1]
He became professor at Bergen Museum in 1918. His most important publications was Norske bygder I (1921) and Norske bygder II (1926), about the dialects in Setesdal and Vest-Agder. He founded the Norsk Aarbok in 1920, and is often credited for introducing the term Høgnorsk in an article in 1922.[citation needed] He was the chairman of Noregs Mållag from 1926 to his death.[3][1]
