The first and last is pretty similar, both from eastern part of Norway. We don’t have a lot of rules for phonetics in Norwegian, so ending a word or a vowel “up” or “down” etc. is kind of individual and random. The second and third have accents from Western/South-Western Norway, with a distinct “rolling” on the R-sound. We call it skarre-R :) this also results in different vowel-sounds, depending on where the person grew up. Norway has a lot of fjords and valleys, which historically restricted the population to minor settlements, and a lot of different accents developed. Even places that are pretty much adjacent, can have quite distinctive differences.
@@hurrdurrpothead5250 Awesome! Could you clarify what you mean by "up" or "down"? Do you mean the pitch? Do regional dialects or other Scandinavian languages have rules for pitch? (Because you mention it.)
@@CulusMagnus yeah, I’m talking about the difference of pitch of the first and last person, beacause they have the same dialect but just pronounce it a bit differently. I was just thinking about a lot of Latin languages, with the à,á,é,ê etc., we don’t really have those in Norway. Norwegian and Danish are very similar in writing, as Norwegian Bokmål (the most used of the two official written languages in Norway), is largely derived from Danish from when Denmark ruled over Norway for several hundred years. Orally Danish is quite different, and a lot of Norwegians have a hard time understanding it. Swedes and Danes hardly understand each other at all:)
Yes, it is many different accents/dialects in Norway. Northern Norwegian dialect vs southern Norwegian is like 2 different languages. And the dialects is also very different in both the north parts and south parts. I live in a small village in northern Norway, you just need to drive 20 kilometers and the dialect is a little bit different.
This is so strange. One of my students in my class today that I met for the first time, had the name "bjørn". And I though "huh, that's so cool, first Bjorn I've ever met". Fast forward about 9 hours later, and this video gets recommend to me!?! Wtf? So interesting how the universe works.

It always made it hard to learn and I didn't have the same problem in russian becouse everything is clear XD

Why yes thank you, Mr. Algorithm, I would be very interested in a video about how people in my own country pronounce a common name in my own country.
I can't believe you asked the entire population of Norway how they pronounce "Bjørn." That's like, seven people.
Thanks algo. You doing your job right.
Am I the only one who’s Actually learning Norwegian and this Recommendation makes sense
Bjorn free...
As free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows....
Even they varied a little in how they pronounced it.
How Americans say Bjørn:
"Buh-jorn"
Not American ABBA fans.
I've literally never head anyone say it like that
Why the actual fuck is this on my recommended... I need more of it
In Russian it is written as "бьёрн", which sounds exactly the same as on the video. Not a problem at all.
As Pole I always found that weird how well cyrylica (sorry I forgot how to call this alphabet in english) shows how to pronounce words.

and he's a professor
hopefully he wasn't a professor of pronunciative nameology
