    Faroese is a North Germanic language spoken by about 66,000 people, with 45,000 residing on the Faroe Islands and 21,000 in other areas like Denmark. It is one of four languages descended from Old West Norse and is closely related to Icelandic, though the two languages are not mutually intelligible when spoken. While the written forms of Faroese and Icelandic resemble each other due to Faroese's etymological orthography, they are not completely mutually intelligible in speech.

    Faroese language

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia!

    Faroese[3] /froiz/ (froyskt, pronounced[fst]) is a North Germanic


    language spoken as a native language by about 66,000 people, 45,000 of
    whom reside on the Faroe Islands and 21,000 in other areas, mainly
    Denmark. It is one of four languages descended from Old West Norse spoken
    in the Middle Ages, the others being Norwegian, Icelandic, and the extinct
    Norn. Faroese and Icelandic, its closest extant relative, are not mutually
    intelligible in speech, but the written languages resemble each other quite
    closely, largely owing to Faroese's etymological orthography.
