Both sources include sentences in both Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian Bokmål.
Norwegian Nynorsk candidate sentences were extracted by both excluding Bokmål-only words and including Nynorsk-only words:
| Only | Words |
|---|---|
| Bokmål | ikke, jeg, en, et, fra, hun, noen, være, mer, ble, mye, bare, boken, kommer, flere, dem |
| Nynorsk | eg, ikkje, ein, me, vere, meir, fleire, berre, ho, eit, blei, vart |
These candidate sentences were then checked by two writers of Nynorsk to ensure that they were indeed written in Nynorsk before inclusion into the corpus.
