That the Swedish CEO argues that SVT delivers content of higher quality than its competitors in all respects, and the Norwegian CEO stresses that NRK is the only quality deliverer in the Norwegian language, can be interpreted in light of the fact that Norway's population is only half the size of Sweden's, as well as that Norway has two written languages: Norwegian Bokmal and Norwegian
Nynorsk. Norwegian is a small language, and NRK is one of the few places in Norway where Norwegian
Nynorsk is practiced orally, because the language was constructed as a written language based on a collection of dialects, as an alternative to Norwegian Bokmal, which was developed from Danish.

Nynorsk, one of Norway's two official languages.
