Leif's political arguments do not really interest me.
I speak Danish, and I can easily distinguish Nynorsk from Bokmål. (I
well remember the first time I encountered Nynorsk. It is rather
distant from Danish!)
It is clear that høgnorsk is in some sense
Indo-European
Germanic
North-Germanic
East-Scandinavian
Norwegian
Nynorsk
Høgnorsk
It should be sub-tagged nn-hognorsk and not further up the tree.
no-hognorsk is in some sense valid, but no less valid than gem-hognorsk
