| | The Faroese Language |
 | | With the national movement and its efforts to raise Faroese to the status of official language of the islands there was also a puristic tendency which considered that it had to "weed out" undesirable foreign elements | | | The Norwegian population which settled in the Faroe Islands has had contact with Celtic-speaking people. | | | This led in the 1890s to a vehement ortography dispute, the outcome of which was, however, that the Hammershaimb-normal was maintained. |

| | This is also due to the fact that Faroese language policy today does not directly borrow from Icelandic, even though some neologisms are the same "by accident", i.e. | | | The pioneer of all scholars who studied the Faroese language was Jens Christian Svabo (1746-1824). | | | In the beginning, the language spoken in the Faroe Islands was Old West Norse, which Norwegian settlers had brought with them during the time of the landnám that began in AD However, many of the settlers weren't really Norwegians, but descendants of Norwegian settlers in the Irish Sea. |

| | There had been Faroese writers before him but they were scientists and their goal was to write down as much as possible before the language died out. | | | But together with the written language came the extensive collection of lays, legends and folktales and this work became the basis for the Faroese patriotic movement which rose around 1900. | | | This movement wanted to protect and revive Faroese language and culture and some of the pioneers were poets and writers. |
