The set of languages are not optimal for Norwegian and should be adjusted. Both to the official languages of Norway and to the languages typically learned at the schools. A request for updates are sent upstream, as I'm told that the Compact Language List are using [[ http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/29/supplemental/territory_language_information.html | CLDR: Territory-Language Information]]. If they can't provide better results then we should add our own additional data.
The requests sent upstream are available as
- [[ http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/9646 | #9646 ]] Southern Sami (sma) [OR]
- [[ http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/9647 | #9647 ]] Lule Sami (sma) [OR]

Languages from nearby countries are added as preferred languages given the project. That is Nynorsk, Danish, Swedish will be on the language preferrence list, {T138973}. There will be a request for additional languages for Norwegian (bokmål) Wikipedia. There are already one for Norwegian (nynorsk) Wikipedia.
