@@Casper-hp6yq actually all the germanic languages come from proto-germanic, which was spoken in the area between Denmark and southern Sweden. So nope, Denmark didn't get it from Germany but it's the other way around, some germanic tribes moved to the south towards Germany (which back then didn't wxist obiouvsly). And Proto-Norse was the first germanic language to evolve from proto-germanic (together with Gothic, which at the very beginning was written with runes aswell, before Wulfila created the gothic alphabet). Old high german appeared 600 years later, when Gothic was extinct and proto norse already evolved into old norse, which was already divided in eastern and western.

@@terceldude Then I wanna say DUH to you, haha! Icelandic is literally a modern Old Norse, close to identical with old age norwegian, which is the actual original Norwegian language kept mostly by the norwegians and other scandinavians who settled the island. Many people fled there to avoid arbsurd high taxes or death because of for instance Óláfr hinn helgi (king Olav the Holy) for believing in the old gods and not christ. Icelanders are trueblood norwegians mixed with selection of celtic women, and considering the 100 different dialects we have all over Norway, some of the isolated ones almost Old Norse/Icelandic, others very similar, I would say it is VERY VERY similar to Norwegian/Swedish/Danish; words, grammar, etc. Most Scandinavians with a skilled ear or maybe even any average person could communicate, quickly pick up and learn Icelandic/Faroese super fast with minor practice. :) Quick fast but not very detailed history lesson for you.

Irish munks used to live on the islands; but that's not the reason. Evidence shows that the Faroese "landnám" (To touch land i.e the settlement) took place as early as 2900 B.C. Some evidence support an even earlier settlement 3900. B.C but that is highly unlikely, and the evidence found can be explained otherwise. Through out the first centuries, and in particular between 825 and 1000 A.C. many celts would come to live on the islands. Some immigrated, the most famous one being Grímur Kamban - according to Faroe saga, a norseman, but he was probably from Isle of Man or from the Orkneys. Women were often stolen from Ireland and Scotland by the faroese vikings, and they stayed on the islands as wifes of the faroese men. So through immigration and viking plunder, the Celtic languages were introduced to the faroese language, and it shaped the language to this very day - kinda like french and english. Examples of faroese words with a celtic origin are : Ærgi, blak, dímun, drunnur, grúkur, lámur and tarvur etc... Some places on the islands also bear witness to the influence of Celtic language fx. Argir (from the word Ærgi), Stóra and Líttla Dímun, Mykines etc... So there you have it. Immigration (not settlement, but immigration to the already inhabited islands, inhabited by the faroese), viking plunder and perhaps - a likely perhaps, but after all, only a perhaps- trade with the british isles before the shutdown of the islands by the danish colonists around 1380.
@brandarheinsson28777 жыл бұрын
Common belief - but not accurate. The islands had been inhabited for thousands of years before the irish munks, led by St.Brandan, came to the islands. Christianity probably co-existed with other religions for hundreds of years until its forced domination around 1035. Grímur Kamban, one of the alleged vikings to take the faroe islands from the irsh, was a celt himself. The faroe islands were an independent state until 1035, and were finally deprived of its independence in 1380. Vikings lived on the islands, and the islanders were vikings - but the Faroe islands fostered a multicultural society; Christianity, ásatrúgv and probably a proto-germanic nature religion, co-existed on the islands. The past of the otherwise very homogeneous islands is surprisingly nuanced. So, there you go.

They understand Danish well as they learn it at school. Offical written Norwegian (bokmål) is very close to Danish, but different accents. Possible Norvegian can be more easy to learn for a foreginer that knows english well foreginer, as it's more 'straight forward' with the sounds used when talking, while Danish more use some special sounds in their accent. Anyway, you can have a look at both) The Faroese language is different from Norwegian (bokmål) and Danish, more 'old style' and harder to learn. It's kind of a mix between Icelandic and some west coast Norwegian accents (which again is quite different from the more modern offical written Norwegian, bokmål. (There were/are so many different accents in Norway, they did gav up on finding a mutual written language based on those, just made it simple and imported Danish as the official writing, and made some local adjustments naturally. Or more correctly, Denmark made the decition to take their language to Norway, as they ruled the country for some centuries back in the old days)

Enkle ord og uttrykk som i videoen er å forstå for de fleste med kjennskap til nordiske språk, men vanlig tale er en god del mer utfordrende) De har mange dialekter, noen nokså 'mumlende' mens andre mer 'klar-snakkende')

Understood everything. But I also have a large interest in the other Scandinavian languages, so that might have been a little help.

I was a little skeptical on how much Gaelige would be in there but there alot of similiarities right there.

He's citing the Danish alphabet but pronouncing it in Faroese... The Faroese alphabet is different. But it's not strange that he's saying the Danish one because a lot of us didn't learn to sing the Faroese alphabet in school. I remember we had a poster of the Faroese alphabet but we only learned to sing the Danish one. But it's still sad, that you can't hear the Faroese alphabet in this video.

I'm German and the month are like in my language. The Northern languages (Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish) are similar. My 7th language is Swedish and my 8th one is Danish. So I can understand the other ones.

Family in this language is clearly of Latin origins as it appears to be "familia" which is Spanish which is obviously derived from Latin. So there is some Roman conquest influence there.

It's in the Northern Germanic language group. Latin has influenced more or less all/most languages in Europe, no doubt.

Yeah right :) Sounds almost the same, what we in Norway say too, but not all that the peoples in the Faroe Islands is saying to each other. We in Norway count en, to, tre, fire, fem, seks, syv, åtte, ni og ti, måned, Januar, februar, mars, april, mai, juni, juli, august, september do I need to go on hehehe :) Icelandic or Faroese is old Danish/Norwgian language :) Yes, I have listen to peoples from the Faroe Islands watching on KZbin, when they are singing Norwegian/Danish folksongs, when they are dancing. I have watched and listening, when peoples from the Faroe Islands is singing about Ormen Lange, which is name of a Norwegian Gas field : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ormen_Lange_(gas_field)

This videoclip from KZbin I add in my comments is this : Faroe Island folk-dance and singing. This is an english texted version of a video allready on you-tube. It is the ballad (kvad) of Ormen Lange/Ormurin Langi or the long serpent. The greatest viking ship ever built in Norway according to the sagas. It was commisoned by Olaf Trygvason. Please leave comments for corrections of translations if you have any, I will try to fix them. It is translated very directly, so you may follow the original Faroe texting. This is old art, and I believe it is best to understand it in the original language, instead of me thinking of English syntax and sentence construction.
