middleclasscommunist asked: Just a note on the different dialects, since someone was asking about it: For an English speaker, the amount of difference you notice will probably depend on where you come from. In most parts of the US, dialects might seem very different, since there's less accent variation (in my experience), but if you're from Scotland, since most people are pretty fluent in both Scots and standard English, and tend to see them as the same language, you're no going to notice that much of a difference.

thesismonkey asked: What are the differences between the types of Norsk that people speak in different regions? I know in Oslosk they roll their "r"s and stuff. How can you tell if someone's from Trondheim or from Bergen?
