Urban East Norwegian, also known as Standard East Norwegian (Bokmål: standard østnorsk, Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈstɑ̀ndɑr ˈœ̂stnɔʂk]), is a Norwegian dialect spoken in Oslo and its surrounding metropolitan area. In Eastern Norway, Urban East Norwegian is generally accepted as the de facto spoken standard of Bokmål.^[1]^[2]

Urban East Norwegian is considered a dialect of Modern Norwegian with roots in Eastern Norwegian elites' pronunciation of Danish (Dano-Norwegian). It is markedly different from the traditional Norwegian dialects in Eastern Norway, with which it has co-existed with for centuries.^{[citation needed]} The labels "Standard East Norwegian" and "Urban East Norwegian" are not in common use in Norway.^{[citation needed]}
