Norway has two official Norwegian languages ("Bokmal" (about 90 %) and "Nynorsk" (about 10 %)) which is spoken all over Norway, but it is correct that Nynorsk is more popular in the western parts of the kingdom. Norway is spelled "Norge" in Bokmal, and "Noreg" in Nynorsk.
In some northern areas even Sami languages, belonging to the Finno-Ugric group, have an offical status.

Interesting, a post card with two stamps, one from Sweden, and one
from Norway. And not the Norge mentioned on the card, but Noreg!
Norway in a language not spoken anywhere near Morkulien, if I'm not
mistaken.

Or is it?
