Dictionary revision
During the period 2018–2024, an editorial group revised both dictionaries from a to å. The most important tasks were to bring in new words and update meanings, and make sure that the content is in line with current language use. Making the selection of words more similar in the two dictionaries was also a priority. More information can be found on the Dictionary Revision Project’s website (in Norwegian).
The original dictionary in Bokmål contained around 65,000 articles and the Nynorsk dictionary freatured almost 90,000. After the dictionary revision, both dictionaries contains around 100,000 articles.
