Retskrivningsordbogen

What it actually is

This is the book Danish spelling rules are officially defined by, covering orthography, inflection and the comma rules, and it is free on the web. If you are writing Danish that will be marked — exams, applications, work email — settle disagreements here rather than by searching. It is a norm reference, not a learning resource: no definitions, no examples, no English.
