I believe the original language is Swedish, though set by a Norwegian composer (Grieg in his Peer Gynt Suite). Norwegians often used Swedish in literature because historically it was considered more suited for the sound element so necessary in poetry. Someone correct me if I have my facts backwards; I'm recalling this from memory.
