Faroe...
"Faroe is spoken by the 35,000 inhabitants of the Faroe (Faeroe)
Islands, in the North Atlantic between the Shetland Islands and
Iceland.   The 18 islands of the group were originally inhabited by
Celts, but Norse settlers arrived at the end of the first millen-
nium A.D.   During the 19th century a nationalistic movement
resulted in the revival of the Faroe language, which resembles
Icelandic in its retention of original Old Norse features, and
stimulation of a Faroe literature.   Faroe is now the official
medium of written communication."
