    I was referring to the "TOTEN dialekt" video. Is that from Oslo or what?

    No, it's not wrong, it's just written before Norwegian adopted the letter Å. I didn't use the most recent versions, f.e. the Swedish version is from the 1917 bible.

    Toten is very close to Sweden, its just across the border, so ofcourse it would be similar...

    Actually no, most Norwegians speak different dialects, only a small minority speak a standardized version of Norwegian, and they tend to work in media..the dialects here are so varied that immigrants coming to one part cant understand people from other regions, this is the case with my friend whom came to Norway as a 9 year old, she cant understand Northern dialects as an example...

    Are you a pan-Nordicist or something along those lines?

    Okay, I have no clue where it is, and you didn't exactly made it clear where it was from in your post.

    Most people here also speak dialect to varying degrees. It doesn't change the fact that most Norwegians and Swedes would understand each other if they spoke in their mother tongue.

    A bit. Are you over-exaggerating the differences between Norway and Sweden?
