The computer lady sounded like "Er du norsk?" on my speakers. Now I am sad.

Is it Norshk or Norsk?

It's pronounced like the first, spelled like the second.

So norsk is not capitalized?

Only proper names are capitalized. The word, "norsk" is an adjective so, unlike the English word, Norwegian, it's not capitalized. :0)
