Yes. It's also quite similar to icelandic. It is one of four languages descended from the Old West Norse language spoken in the Middle Ages, the others being Icelandic, Norwegian and the extinct Norn, which is thought to have been mutually intelligible with Faroese. Faroese and Icelandic, its closest extant relative, are not mutually intelligible in speech, but the written languages resemble each other quite closely.

Eivør is a beautiful woman. But the Faroe islands look a little godforsaken.

@thrainful The correct answer is: fhe sings in Faroese (or Føroyskt, as we natives say).

The English version pales in comparison to this. The English lyrics don't seem to naturally fit and it seems forced. This is amazing!

Hi :)
thank you for your comment.
If you look at the thorn you can see it changes the color, it's just an effect that I made. hehe :)
