Tourism & Travel | | English term or phrase: Bergenese | I'm dealing with a Japanese to English document talking about tourism in Norway. The dialect spoken in Bergen has been translated as "Bergenese". This sounds somewhat OK in English, but I'm wondering if there isn't some better word to use.
Thanks. |

| | Norwegian translation:bergenese | Explanation:
I actually don't dislike the term bergenese. It's pretty close to the Norwegian original word (bergensk) and sounds ok in English. |

| Grading comment The phrase was "they speak what they call ___" so I said "They speak what they call "Berensk", or Bergenese" so it would make sense both ways.
