There is more.  

When you use the "jump to next word" (and other functions that needs
to know what's part of a word and what isn't), Emacs will say that the
word is parted on (at least) the norwegian characters æ, ø and å.

What I use to avoid this is:

(load-library "iso-syntax")
(require 'disp-table)

in addition to
(standard-display-european 1)
