Norwegian/Months and Weekdays

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

The names of the months in Norwegian are rather similar to those in English, because both languages have taken the names from Latin. In Norwegian, however, the names of the months do not begin with a capital letter, except when the name comes first in a sentence (as it is for all words).
