"nynorsk" literally means "new Norwegian".

"mal" is a really bad fallback for "mål", and
that fallback does not read right in any language.

"bokmål" literally means "book language" (with
"Norwegian" usually being implicit). It is quite
ok to refer to "book language Norwegian" as just
"Norwegian" (and also equate "no" and "nb",
deprecating the former [Preferred-value: nb]).
