The language Icelandic people speak.
The Icelandic alphabet:
A Á B D Ð E É F G H I Í J K L M N O Ó P R S T U Ú V Y Ý Þ Æ Ö
a á b d ð e é f g h i í j k l m n o ó p r s t u ú v y ý þ æ ö
An example of Icelandic:
Heyrðu, kemur þú í myndbandaleiguna á eftir, en ekki fyrr en klukkan fjögur vegna þess að ég er að fara í afmæli til ömmu minnar.
Translated:
Hey, are you coming to the video rental store later, but not until 4 o'clock because I'm going to my grandmother's birthday.
Another example:
Hvað gerðir þú um helgina?
Ég heimsótti systur mína og við horfðum á kvikmyndir til klukkan fimm um nótt.
translated:
What did you do this weekend?
I visited my sister and we watched movies to five o'clock.
I know it's stupid but it contains words that people often use in Iceland.
Another example:
Ég hata Jónu, hún sagði að ég væri tík og hóra!
Ég vona að hún fari til helvítis.
Translated:
I hate Joanne, she said that I was a bitch and a whore!
I hope she goes to hell.
Another example:
Sonur sæll, þegar þú ferð til ömmu þá segirðu "Góðan dag amma mín, en hvað þú ert falleg."
Svo verðurðu kurteis við hana vegna þess að hún býr ein heima hjá sér.
Translated:
Son, when you go to granny's you say "Good day grandma, you look beautiful today."
Then you will be nice to her because she lives alone.
Iceland is the small island east of Greenland and west of Norway in the upper-middle of the Antlantic-Ocean.
It's a part of Europe although it's half in it's still considered as being part of Europe.

I'm proud of being Icelandic. I'm sure you're patriotic too of your country. And I've been reading definitions about Iceland not wanting to be Norwegian and I'm saying that I don't have any problem with the fellow Norwegians out there.
Its quite a conflict on this site.

Personally I think that Iceland should get over the fact that it used to be Norwegian territory. And my father came from Iceland and I've lived in Norway for seven years now and I've met the most nice and clean people ever.
No they wouldn't be in trouble without their Oil. Vikings didn't all come from Norway either. Some came from Sweden. All of Scandinavia. And plus you're all descended from Norwegians who probably loved you.
Did you notice? Oh wait it's probably because you just wanted to start a show for the whole Urban Dictionary. My father who was Icelandic born there and everything is too descended from other Scandinavians who I love.
So now that I've mentioned it no one needs conflict. And I think that people who like to cause conflicts are simply uneducated little cretins with no talent.
I'm still proud of being Icelandic.

An Icelander is a person from Iceland, someone of Icelandic decent, or someone with Icelandic citzenship.
Most native Icelanders are of Norwegian and Celtic ancestory although there others of other ancestry mainly Scandinavian.
The first inhabitants of Iceland were Irish monks recorded by Norweigan settler Ari Thorgilsson in the Íslendingab(the book of Icelanders) Iceland was settled by the Norse in the 9th century A.D.
The oldest known source that mentions the name "Iceland" is an 11th century Gothic rune carving and the first written source that mentioned Icelands esistance was a book by an Irish monk Dicuil.
Results of genetic testing show the majority of male settlers of Iceland were of Viking heritage, while most of the woman are said to be of Celtic heritage.

Person 1: Man, I wish I was an Icelander.
Person 2: Yeah being from Utah sucks.
Me: Wow, I never realised it can get colder in the winter where I live then in Iceland. Maybe I should move.
Me: Icelanders have the coolest accent.
