Just in case anyone is curious, this string says "Norwegian (Bokmal)" with a
circumflex over the a, i.e. a little ring. Norwegians have two languages,
sort of. One is the modern Norwegian, heavily influenced by Danish, while
the other was constructed from various northern dialects.

I just can't remember which is which, but I *think* bokmål is the
pseudo-constructd one.
