i don't really see how because languages can't really jump from one category to another regardless of how much contact there is, but the østnorske dialects are generally more similar to the eastern scandinavian languages and dialects than what is the case for vestnorske dialects, you have like dialect continuums in those areas which are interesting like the apocope one which even reach the swedish spoken on the westcoast of finland
hmm i suppose the root matter the most yes, austnorske dialects are just so much more audibly similar to swedish than to like stavangersk or smn, and some of the sørnorske dialects is just potatoless danish how are these even considered three different languages
from a linguistic point of view the "mainland scandinavian" languages are only one language, but due to political and historical reasons they're treated as separate languages. but it's related to that it's very difficult to determine exactly what the difference between a language and a dialect is
