Wikitongues

Any fluent Nynornist want to contribute to Wikitongues? It's a youtube channel attempting to collect samples of speakers of every language in the world:

I think that there is still no fluent speaker of Nynorn, now.. But, who knows, surely in future we will hear the sounds of our project!

Well, we don't even know what it should sound like. I think it is too early for the project to be spread on such platforms as YouTube. It would not do nynorn any good at this point. Let's be patient

Thanks Brus, a great idea, although Kråka is right, we don't have any fluent speaker yet, not even myself. Nynorn still lacks many everyday words which makes it almost impossible to speak it properly. At the moment we're (semi-)actively working on the new English-Nynorn/Nynorn-English dictionary, and after we've completed the first stage when we'll be able to consider it more or less ready to be brought to the masses, many things will change to the better. But this work takes a lot of effort, so you have to wait a little bit more.

Brus, it really is a great idea, and I think that Hnolt and the other "minds" behind the project will collect samples of spoken Nynorn.
There are a lot of things to do, concerning grammar, phonology, orthography (why not thinking to something about the Hammershaimb and Jakobsen "Broyting"? I can provide some information on that from my books)...
