@amigozz4l Icelanders prnounce Norwegian better than Danish. Just like we Faroese!
Yeah Icelandic is almost identical to old norse :)

Ég hef alltaf haft mikinn áhuga á færeysku. Eftir að ég flutti til vesturströnd Noregs gerðist mér það auðveldara að skilja færeysku, en ég er íslenskur. Ef færeyskan hljómar ekki eins og íslenska þá hljómar hún eins og norskan í Sognefjord.
Ég vona að ég muni einhvern tíma koma til Færeyja. :)

Why is the faroese woman shouting?

faroese sounds really gaelic, but easy to understand if you speak norwegian, ...

Both languages are beautiful. But which one is closer to Old Norse? It's usually said that it's Icelandic, but I've been once told that Faroese is actually closer because it has fewer speakers and in such populations languages change slower.

Tú Føroyingur, hvar tú um heimin fer,
eitt prýði fyri land og fólk títt ver,
sýn spekt og semju, verj tey veikastu,
hav hjartalag, sum móður tín við teg.

oh man this is hard.. as a swede i can still hear and understand some of the faroese .. must concentrate though..
I did not make any comment at to what caused Norwegian to divert away from its western branch. I as what I've seen it's a sensitive subject. but what I would like to see is every Norwegian be proud of speaking Norwegian, as every Dane is proud of Danish and every Swede is proud of Swedish. this is What I miss in Norwegians, they seem to linger too much on the past, instead of embracing the lovely language they've got.
