Always worth a try :-)

It is difficult to make a list of dialects, though most refer to a
geographic area.

Some (unofficial names) - off the top of my head - are:

Hedemarking
Vossaml
Gudbrandsdl
Nordlending
stlending
Srlending
Trnder

Is it you that doesn't remember the name of the dialect, or is it your
source? Would you be able to show her or read to her the list to see if she
recognized any of the dialects? Could she maybe remember a word or three
from the dialect (that would maybe help us figure out where it was from).

Don't give up just yet :-)
