Norwegian is the official language of Norway and it is the most commonly spoken language in Northern Norway. Norwegian is mutually intelligible with Danish and Swedish. Sami is official in seven municipalities and Kven is official in one municipality. Russian is a common language in Kirkenes due to immigration, but it is not an official language.
Most Norwegians speak English well. In theory, all Norwegians are also able to speak a third language, usually German or French but also Spanish, Italian or Russian, as learning a third language is mandatory in the Norwegian school. However, most people's knowledge of their third "school language" is basic at best.
