When referring to the language, Norwegian is uncountable and takes no article: 'He speaks Norwegian' (not 'the Norwegian'). Norwegian as a language has two official written forms (Bokmål and Nynorsk). Do not confuse with 'Norwegian' as an adjective — the adjective can be used before 'language' (Norwegian language) as a synonym.
