On the Norwegian-language side of NRK there’s just one banner, because in both Bokmål and Nynorsk the title “King” is “Kong”^[The noun “king”, however, is konge with an E at the end. Also, I recall reading a joke as a kid about how the king before last was bad at English and accidentally introduced himself as King Kong Olav. Har har.], but I guess for NRK Sápmi they have a quota about equality between Northern Sámi, Lule Sámi, and Southern Sámi (from top to bottom), and each of these three languages has a different word for “King”, and they really couldn’t think of a more elegant solution than tripling the amount of space taken up by this banner which is (for a republican like me) already intrusive enough when it’s a third its size.

The proto-Sámic word for king was *konëŋkēs, loaned from proto-Germanic *kuningaz whence English king and Norwegian kong(e). The Sámic languages constitute a branch of the Uralic languages, putting them in the same family as Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, and a bunch of Russian Indigenous languages; Germanic languages are Indo-European.
