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.

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.

Iceland vs. Canada?? god help you. As one higly ranked officer on the u.n.army base in Keflavik said: "We, and the rest of the world should be thankful that this nation does not have an army and is peaceful, because specially trained navy-seal go partying downtown Reykjavik,and if they have an attitude towards the locals and go looking for a fight, they get beaten up by teenagers!! The vikings are alive but peaceful, but don´t give a drunk one a attitude, because they don´t know what it means to run away and don´t care about getting hurt, they just go berserk (another word for viking). It´s a matter of pride for them, imprinted in their genes. An army of Iceland would be without a dought the best fighting force of the planet, but as the acient warriors, they understand that fighting and violence is not the way to live. But when they drink all that can be easily forgotten, and they do drink alot.
Just look at the cod-wars. Icelandic coastguard-ship going head on in a game of chicken with huge british warships, and simply dare-ing them to use their guns. And of course the Icelanders never backed, never gave up, and won these "peaceful"-wars three times in a row!"
....so Canada? Don´t mess with what you know nothing of, ´cause you might hurt yourself in the progress.

Iceland : named the land of ice so people in overcrowded cities of Europe wouldn´t flock out there. Some say the best kept secret of the world.
Greenland: named so to attract people in Iceland to move there, but it didn´t work but the name stuck.

An unusual chain of British supermarkets selling a large variety of low-price food and, for no apparent reason, bad quality dishwashers, freezers and other kitchen equipment.
Chosen grocery store of the more upmarket chav, Iceland also specialize in extravagant but completely irrelevant deals, such as:
'Buy these chicken dippers, get this tin of vitamin supplements, this jar of pickled gherkins, this bag of dog food, a whole turkey, this tub of butter and a kettle - free! All for just £2.95!'

Volcanic island, north of Britain.
We are known for our strong vikings and our beutiful girls.
In Iceland, there are always party.
That's probably one of the reasons why we're always drunk.
But there is everything very expensive (specily the beer.)
Iceland is one of the riches countries in the world, and it is the best place in the world to live in.
