Faroese

Our professional linguists include native Faroese speakers who are experienced in the nuances of the language and the requirements of effective translation and interpreting.

Faroese Language

Faroese (also spelled: Faeroese , Føroysk) is a member of the West Scandanavian group of the North Germanic languages. It is spoken in the Faroe Islands by about 44,000 people.

Faroese is closely related to modern Icelandic, despite the fact that the languages are mutually unintelligible. Both languages preserve many characteristics of Old Norse.

Written Faroese was established in 1846 by Faroese linguist Venceslaus Ulricus Hammershaim. Much of the Faroese literary tradition consists of ballads.
