337 viewsAlthough Icelandic has 3000 times less speakers than English, it is well-known by trillions of aliens. Icelandic is more popular than English in the universe. Klingons of the warrior class adore the battle-poems of Egill Skallagrímsson and linguists at the academy of Qo'nos, the Klingon homeworld have produced the first Klingon-Icelandic dictionary.

Brynfjöreggsverðlaun287 viewsA imaginary presentation of the Brynfjöreggsverðlaun by Pétur Þorsteinsson, allsherjarnýyrðaskáld (president of the High Icelandic language movement) to an Icelandic writer or poet, who has excelled in avoiding loan-words in his writs. LINGUISTIC PURISM COULD BE SO MUCH MORE REWARDING!!!

283 viewsThe English name Chippendale translates as Kaupangurdælir. It derives from the family living in Chippingdale, which was otherwise known as Chippendale. This was the valley in which the village of Chipping (Lancashire) was located. The name of this village is derived from Old English céping, which is equivalent with Icelandic kaupangur and means 'market-place'. The Icelandic equivalent of the valley's name is Kaupangursdalur and the family name derived from the place-name is Kaupangurdælir (like Svarfdælir)

262 viewsIcelandic: unterrestrially uninternational!! Cool! The most striking characteristic of the ICelandic language is the uninternational character of its terminology and vocabulary in general. Loosing that characteristic is loosing the language alltogether. Stop pumping up Icelandic with loan-words. Bío, pólitík, Klník, banani, GO TO HELL!!!! THese unwords kill Icelandic. Cure the language and honour the admirable efforts of your forefathers. Don't throw their achievement down the trashcan

257 viewsTranslation: "Sisters in arms in language defence". The picture shows Fjallkona and a Maori woman. The Maori language is the only terratongue that can compete with Icelandic with regard to extreme linguistic purism.
