      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.

      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:)

    I dreamed of asking a guy named Byörn if I was pronouncing it right last night. Now I get recommended this. My life is a fucking joke to some simulation admins.

      I started a joke, that started the whole world laughing. Oh if I'd only seen, that the joke was funny.

    Thank you for this recommendation yt. I appreciate that. English talking people can also try to combine ,b‘ and ‚yearn‘. That‘s how I would explain it.
