Starting around 1825 and continuing for a century thereafter, 800,000
Norwegians migrated to America, and their descendants today number five
million. Most migrated to the Midwest, where there was much contact among
Norwegians. Extensive linguistic analysis was presented in Einar Haugen's
great The Norwegian Language in America (1953), and since by, among others,
Arnstein Hjelde, especially in Trøndsk talemål i Amerika (1993).

The past year has witnessed renewed interest in Norwegian in America, not
least as demonstrated by the workshop 'Investigating immigrant languages in
America', held at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, September 2010 and
the forthcoming Second Workshop on Immigrant Languages in America, to be
held at Fefor, Gudbrandsdalen Norway, 21-24 September 2011. These workshops
have grown from Nordic research cooperation in dialectology and especially
dialect syntax, and the workshops and associated fieldwork are supported by
the Norwegian Research Council. The fieldwork shows that Norwegian-speaking
descendents of immigrants can still be found today.
