Just wanted to quote this out of the Norwegian GDzombiecide Mivi Kokoroki zombiecide Danish is an official language of Greenland, I guess that's what they referred to. (And it's not an official language of Iceland!)
The only knowledge of Greenlandic languages I have is from Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow. Reminds me that I want to re-read that book.
I translate Norwegian lyrics with a Swedish dictionary. no it's the second language (probably depends on area) they speak Greenlandic as Hellsbitch said. and Danish is the second langauge of Icelandic not the first She didn't say Danish was the first language, she said that it was an official language.And she didn't say Danish was the first language of Iceland. xD
Hey, I just found a source that states Iceland has no official language, because they never saw the necessity to declare any.
Kokoroki, you have to realize that Iceland is a country on it's own, while Greenland is a self-governed Danish territory.
Iceland belonged to Denmark once, I know. But - as far as I can say as an outsider who isn't fluent in Icelandic -, Icelanders are proud of their own language.
As far as I know, Iceland was colonised during the 9th and 10th century, and soon swore to its independency.
In 1262 Norwegians conquered Iceland, which in 1380 formed with Denmark the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway. (Denmark was dominant in this political union. So much, that the Norwegian language boksmal, which is spoken by up to 90% of Norwegians, is actually a Norwegianzied Danish.)
The Danish occupants weren't too nice to the Icelanders. I don't know much, but I know the Icelanders were prohibited to sing, among other things.
In 1904 Iceland was allowed to become self-governed (as Greenland is today), in 1944 Iceland declared its independency.
I think nearly every Icelander is at least bilingual. As far as I know, it's prohibited to dub movies (even if there was somebody who was crazy enough to actually do this), and for every new concept they come up with an own word.
Uh, I like underdogs, did you notice?
And: I have to translate some wikipedia entries to English. (English may have more entries ... but the German ones usually are way more sophisticated!)

I'm going to look for more information.
Mivi: Love Iceland. Love wikipedia, too.

If people want translations, they usually direct you to the Language Discussions, so that's why I posted here. Yes, I admit, I may have overdid the posting, but I'm curious to know what that translation is in as many languages as I can. There is no need to be rude like that here in the guild.
