What language is spoken in Iceland?

Icelandic is an ancient Norwegian language, similar to Swedish and Norwegian Danish. The Dane may not speak other languages, but he can probably understand what the other person is saying. It was Norwegian pirates who first discovered Iceland. In fact, they were farmers. Farming when busy, robbing when idle. Icelandic literature has been developed since ancient times. In ancient times, there were many Icelandic royal literati in the Nordic court. Icelandic writers won the Nobel Prize in Literature, where illiteracy almost disappeared. I once met an illiterate neighbor on my farm, who was in his forties and fifties and was mentally retarded. The state subsidizes the disabled, inherits a farm, raises horses, helps farmers in summer, works in slaughterhouses in autumn, learns embroidery at local old people's homes in winter, and drives Land Rover everywhere when he has time.
