Faroese is the official language of the roughly 50,000 people living in the Faroe Islands, an archipelago about half-way between Scotland and Iceland. Faroese is closely related to Icelandic, and less closely to the other Scandinavian languages (Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish), but definitely distinct from all of them.
