Norwegian is the word for people, things, and the language that belong to Norway — a country in northern Europe, on the west side of , with its capital at Oslo. An older book may still give Norway about 4.7 million people (2014); though actually more than five million live there now. The country is known for (long, narrow arms of sea between high cliffs), for fishing, for oil from the North Sea, and for wood from its forests. So you can meet a Norwegian, eat Norwegian salmon, or study Norwegian. The country itself is called Norway, not Norwegian — an easy mix-up, because pairs like Japan / Japanese train us to hear the longer word as the country too. Though actually there is not just one written Norwegian; the country uses more than one written form, but as a you can treat Norwegian as one label until you need that finer point.
組成From Norwegia + -n, or from old English Norweġ + -ian: the usual ending that turns a place into its people and its adjective.
