What will the legal status of the baby born in Norway if parents are not Norway Nationals?

The legal status of children born in Norway to non-Norwegian Nationals is that they automatically get a Norwegian Nationality in addition to their parents'. It is why it gets complicated with asylum seekers who have had a child in Norway and then get rejected from the system.

With a dual nationality, the child will remain a Norwegian citizen and it will stay like that until the child is 18 and leaves the country. After that, they have to keep having their passport updated or they can lose their Norwegian Nationality. This goes for any foreign one as well, for instance a Dutch/Norwegian person living in Norway must keep a valid passport or lose their Dutch nationality.

How many words are there in Norwegian?

That is a very difficult question to answer because:

In norwegian, you are allowed to put different words together, on order to form new words! Let us compare to english, shall we? :P

Say I want to speak about a bottle that's meant to contain soda:

I'd refer to it as a soda bottle, right? That's two words to describe one thing.

In norwegian, you'd simply put the two words together, in order to form a new word, refering only to this particular item:

Brus (=soda) Flaske (=bottle), brusflaske (=soda bottle)

Ok, taking it up a notch: Soda bottle lable

Etikett (=lable), Brusflaskeetikett (= soda bottle lable)

Nice, huh? but it makes it really hard to count how many words there are, as I just "made up" two, and they're both perfectly valid norwegian words :P

Also, there are two (very similar but) different written languages in norway, so essentially, you have a slightly altered valid version of most words(!)

so it's pretty much impossible to say it accurately, but I don't think I'm far off if I say that at the very least there are no fewer valid norwegian words, than there are valid english words.
