Faroese (føroyskt mál).
Faroese is a North Germanic language spoken mainly in the Faroe Islands (Føroyar) In 2007 there were about 66,000 speakers of Faroese: 45,000 in the Faroe Islands, and 21,000 elsewhere, mainly in Denmark.
Faroese is closely related to Icelandic, and the dialects of western Norway. However, as a result of the isolation, Faroese has a distinctive character of its own.
