This article is a condensed historical overview of the development and status of purism in the Nordic countries, concluding with the state of affairs at the start of the MIN project around 2000. It gives a typology of purism(s), a general overview of the earliest external influences in the prenationalist period and a country-for-country account of the development of standard languages and linguistic nationalisms, and the nature and function of purist movements during this process. A preliminary ranking of the countries according to their degree of purism concludes the article
