## Bio

Ivar Andreas Aasen was born on 5 August 1813, a Norwegian philologist and lexicographer who would spend his life in the service of language. He travelled the country gathering dialects, then constructed Nynorsk — a written standard drawn from the variants he'd documented. The work made him a playwright and poet in the tongue he'd shaped. He died on 23 September 1896, having given Norway a second official language.
