hello folks i am icelandic, swedish and norwegian are not closely the same as icelandic, we talk the language of the vikings, and it hasn't changed much for 1000 years because of the isolation, but i love this song of course, i've heard a better version it, better singing. But as they say "icelandic tongue, the most valuable heritage" is tru and i hope it will not change in the future, though i am affraid of it that it will:(
Im not icelandic and i really hope that all icelandic will keep their heritages and values them.Your country and language is really beautiful hope that Icelandic will take care of it .... so sad for some other country .....
@trex250 When I wrote this I meant like, in the same category as Á Sprengisandi, Í Hlíðarendakoti (Fyrr var oft í koti kátt), Ísland ögrum skorið, Öxar við ána, Hver á sér fegra föðurland. I know the Icelandic national anthem isnt this song.

I know the Icelandic national anthem isnt this song. It was just a matter of icelandic translation problem to english cause these songs are all þjóðlög and that made me think it translated to national, maybe the correct term would be folk song, not sure.
it sounds swedish in some words but it's more like norwegian in my mind, more like newnorwegian(nynorsk) island er landet me aldrig skal gløyma. drøyma strøymar fedrene, dyraste arv, blinkande nordlys. island i huet.
Icelandic is a modernisation of the old Norse language spoken in Norway, Sweden and Denmark during the time of the Vikings. The same applys to the spoken/written languange on Faroe Islands.
Most of the Vikings that inhabited Iceland and Faroe Island actually came from Norway. So Icelandic is actually more related to Norwegian than Danish.
If it hasnt been for the Swedish and Danish occupation of Norway, Norwegians and Icelanders wold have spoken almost the same language.

Michigan here. Westur Islenskur. This video brought me to tears, and I don't cry. I was in Wesconsin and met some Icelanders there from Canada. I told them about YOUTUBE. Please keep on posting about Iceland. Any Icelandic oldies but Goodies would be appreciated, such as Kátir vory Karlar frá Akranesi, til fiski veiþar vóru. Forgot the rest. Oh and Ríþum, ríþum, útilegu menn í ódæþa raun eru bara aþ smala vé á laun. Forgot the rest.
anyone know what a poor norwegian country man like me needs to do to learn some icelandik? i meen we bouth eat rotten fisk and sheepheads and share the same ancistors,kinda imarresing to have to comunicate in english:)
haha... I can watch videos lot of times. It is just lovely. Northern countries have a privilage and it is a 24 hours sun!! I wish I could see this someday in my life and I hope this can hapen in Ísland. SKÁL !
Iceland is beautiful. And so is the language, Im currently trying to learn it. :3
