Icelandic is spoken by about 320,000 people in Iceland and in Icelandic communities in Denmark, Norway, Canada, and the USA. This Indo-European language belongs to the North Germanic branch of the Germanic family and it’s related to the Faroese language. Old Norse created two Scandinavian languages: the East Scandinavian languages, consisting of Danish and Swedish and the West Scandinavian languages, consisting of Icelandic, Faroese, and Norwegian. Curiously, Icelandic is not mentioned as an official language in the Icelandic constitution although it is the main language in Iceland, and neither is it mentioned as part of the working language of the Nordic Council of Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish although Icelandic is included in its publications. Another curious feature about Icelandic is that the written language has not changed much in grammar since the 13th century. This makes it easy for the modern Icelander to understand the ancient sagas. This would be like an English speaker considering Shakespearean works as similar to modern usage.
