Hei (eg kan norsk og forstår vel språksituasjonen i Noreg, men skal på engelsk, slik at anna folket kunne forstå)

In my opinion this is a good idea. The reason Nynorsk started sooner is because there was more community movement behind it.

We are currently adding sentence variants (so sentences could be labelled e.g. `no-nynorsk`, `no-bokmaal`

The main current issue is [decoupling localisation](https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/streamlining-localization-and-reducing-barriers-for-common-voice-communities/130548). If you are interested, we could discuss potential ways forward on [Matrix](https://app.element.io/#/room/#common-voice:mozilla.org). Participants from the Nynorsk community should also be involved.
