Icelandic language

Icelandic is a North Germanic language descended from Old Norse, spoken primarily in Iceland. It has preserved many ancient linguistic features, making it one of the most conservative languages in Europe. The language features a complex grammar system with four cases, three genders, and verb forms that reflect tense and mood. Modern Icelandic vocabulary often derives from Old Norse roots, and the language is deeply connected to Iceland's cultural identity and literature. Despite its small number of speakers, Icelandic remains vibrant, with ongoing efforts to preserve and standardize its use in a rapidly changing world.
