Norwegian to English

That depends entirely on which fjord you're at and where on the fjord you are (secluded from ocean winds or not) and the weather. Norway is much colder in the north than in the south. The temperature can be quite decent in the south of Norway in May, while in the north it could still be winter.

It is a difficult project to estimate the amount of words for any language, and especially for Norwegian. In Norwegian you are allowed to create your own words and use them as you see fit.

The two s's in søster ('sister') are pronounced normally, the ø is pronounced like the u in sun, the last three letters ter are pronounced like an English speaker would say "teh" plus a normal Norwegian r, which I don't think there is an English equivalent for. Try making the r sound by placing your tongue near the front of your palate, a little behind your teeth and just where it starts going upwards. If your tongue moves quickly up and down while you're making the r sound you've got it. I also find that moving my tongue slightly backwards while making the short r sound makes it easier. You could also use a guttural r sound, like the french do, but most Norwegian dialects and most Norwegians use the regular r.

English has become what is known as a "Lingua Franca". A Lingua Franca is a language which is common used as a second language in order to facilitate communication. There have been many lingua francas in the history of the world including French, Koine Greek, Latin, Aramaic, and Sanskrit. In order to become a lingua franca, there has to be an element of prestige associated with the language which would make people want to learn it and use it. This prestige normally comes about due to colonization, conquest, religion or economic factors.

The current prestige associated with the English language came about because of two factors. The first was the based on the number of nations the British colonized prior to World War II. The second was a result of the economic power wielded around the globe by the United States after World War II. Currently, it is economically beneficial for people in many nations to learn the English language. When asked why, they will often say it is the "language of business".

As an aside, it should be noted that no language has ever lasted as a permanent lingua franca. At some point, many languages lose the prestige they once held and people choose a new language to speak. In fact, if you look at the list above, many of the previous lingua franca are no longer even spoken except by the few scholars who took the time to learn them.
