 The standard was by its nature a continuation of the convergence movement toward the ever-elusive goal of "samnorsk".Double consonants to denote short vowels are put in common use; the silent "h" is eliminated in a number of words; more "radical" forms in bokmål are made primary; while nynorsk actually offers more choices.However, it appeared that the 1959 attempt was the last gasp of the samnorsk movement.
