here are some very short clips i found of what an audibly norwegian accent can sound like, that i think is pretty accurate, but i guess it could vary on what dialect the person speaking has because there’s a huge difference in the different dialects in norway.
but these are the ones i found that i feel are most accurate of the ones i found, and especially the last clip when he says “that’s good” is accurate!
(also, the sound he makes right before he says that’s good is the word “hæ” and it’s kinda our version of huh but used mostly when you don’t hear what someone is saying)
Taking that long trip down my childhood to Grandma's Home

I have been thinking a lot lately about my grandparents.

I need this fandom to start giving norway a Norwegian accent. If that man doesn’t sound like he’s bouncing up and down on a trampoline every time he talks I don’t want it.
I don't speak either so I'm probably not a fantastic person to ask! But as far as I know when the Scandi royals get together they speak their own languages or a hybrid because they are close enough that they can understand each other. My understanding is that Danish is the hardest or "most different" of the three when spoken - and there are some clips out there of Victoria gently mocking Frederik's Danish pronunciations - but they might disagree and I very much do not want to wade into the Scandinavian rivalry hahaha.
Well now im looking at oxford's courses and,,, i... no one told me they have an entire library dedicated to linguistics. A whole department dedicated to the study of the history of languages. A laboratory specifically for phonetics.
thinking back to that cyrodilic accents map, i fall more and more in love w scouse bruma every day. imagining "bruma" said in a scouse accent is satisfying as fuck. gotta RELISH that r
I think it's funny that I can speak English with a norwegian accent, Norwegian with an English accent. But I cannot speak English with an Italian accent, instead I can speak Italian with an American accent.
