Faroese is spoken from the Faroes for approximately
600 years, in the event it separated itself from Old
Norse. The first writing that
show signs of a new language, however, was printed in 1298. Closest relative
to Faroese
will be the now extinct Norn, spoken from the Orkneys prior to the 17th
or 1700s and also the Shetlands
where it became extinct in the 2nd half
on the Nineteenth century. The past remains of Norn was
written down
with a Faroese man, Dr. Jakob Jakobsen in the 1880's. Shetland's
Norn was so in close proximity to Faroese which
the two languages were mutually
intelligible.
Faroese has numerous retained grammatical structures from your old Norse and
Germanic languages,
3 gender, 2 numbers, 4 cases, strongly and weakly bent
nouns, verbs and adjectives. In grammatics, Faroese is closest
to
Icelandic, but in its vocabulary it is closest to many Western Norwegian
dialects, although most loan words originate from Danish/German.
That is caused by
the truth that from the moment of the Reformation, school-, church- and administrative
language of the
Faroes (and Norway) was Danish, although Luther's meaning
together with the Reformation was that all man should hear the Lord's
words in his
own language.
The Faroes today is multilingual, schoolwise. Besides Faroese, Danish must
be learned, and English
lessons begin in the 5th grade. As all Faroese
know Danish, additionally they understand Norwegian and Swedish. However, it's more/>hard for the Faroese to understand Icelandic! Many Faroese also know
other languages, like French, German and Spanish. Lately many
foreigners
have started to beautiful hawaii, and some have got up a desire for their language,
as an example, Romanian
and Polish. Today, Faroese is spoken
by approx. 60-70,000 people. 47,000 of these have a home in the Faroes, a
huge part
in the rest in
Denmark
. But strangely you will find a Faroese in any country on the
planet. Currently, there are Faroese people in
Mali
,
Ukraine
and
Australia
.

National Anthem
Tu, alfagra land mitt,
min dyrasta ogn,
a vetri so randhvitt,
/>a sumri vi logn,
tu tekur meg at tr
unusualtt i tin favn,
tit oyggjar so mtar,
Gud signi ta
navn,
sum menn tykkum govu,
ta teir tykkum sou,
Ja, Gud signi Foroyar, mitt land.
You, my beautiful
country,
My precious belonging,
In the wintertime so white
In summer at peace
You're taking me to you
So close
in your arms
You, islands, so mighty,
God bless the name,
That men gave you,
When they saw you,
Yes,
God bless Foroyar, my country
(Naturally, Foroyar could be the Faroese reputation for the
Faroe Islands
. )
Hin
roin, sum skinur
a sumri i li,
hin odnin, sum tynir
mangt liv vetrarti,
og myrkri, sum fjalir
mr bjartasta
mal,
og ljosi, sum splir
mr sigur i sal:
Alt streingir, i tona
sum vaga og vona,
at eg verji
Foroyar, mitt land.
The red sun that shines
in summer in li (li is what behind the walls,
you will need to visualize it to find out
how it's)
the storm, that kills
much life wintertime
plus the
darkness, that hides
from me the brightest goal
as well as the light, that plays
it say during my soul:
/>All strings, that sound
that dare and hope
that I defend Foroyar, my land. (Country to be totally correct)
Eg
nigi ti niur
i bon til tin, Gu:
Hin heilagi friur
mr falli i lut!
Lat sal mia tvaa
/>sr i tini dyrd!
So torir hon vaga
- av Gui vl skird -
at bera ta merki,
sum
eykennir verki,
i varveitir Foroyar, mitt land!
I kneel therefore down
in pray'r to you personally, God
The
holy peace
you may have for me!
Let my soul cleans (tvaa means wash)
her in your grace!
/>Then will she dare
- from God vl - (allow me to look that word up for
you)
to cart
the banner
that symbolizes the effort, (not entirely correct)
that protects Foroyar, mitt land!
Simun av Skari
/>For the word "skird". When a individual is made an icon, (like
the holy Mother Mary, and Mother Therese) he/she
is "skird"
a symbol. I assume make use of the term "blessed", since inside
Anthem it's almost meant that way.
