Icelandic is a Germanic language like Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish. It is the purest form of the “Old Norse” language that exists today. It was brought to the country by the Norsemen, who settled Iceland.  Icelandic has been a written language for more than 900 years and has remained relatively unchanged.
==Introduction==


Iceland was under Danish rule until 1918. Records written before the mid 1800s may include Danish and some Latin words. Note that in the 1801 census, Danish and to some extent Latin, rather than Icelandic, are used throughout the text. See the [[Denmark Language and Languages|Danish Language and Languages ]]and the Italy [[Latin Genealogical Word List]].

== LANGUAGE CHARACTERISTICS ==
Icelandic is a Germanic language like Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish. It is the purest form of the Old Norse language that exists today. It was brought to the country by the Norsemen, who settled Iceland. Icelandic has been a written language for more than 900 years and has remained relatively unchanged.

See [[Danish Word List|Danish Genealogical Word List]] and [[Latin Genealogical Word List]].


In Icelandic, as in English, the forms of some words vary according to how they are used in a sentence.  Who—whose—whom and marry—marries—married are examples of words in English with variant forms.  The endings of a word in a document may differ from those in this list. For example:

=== Spelling ===
===Spelling===


Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries. Words were written as they sounded.  Because Iceland was under Danish rule so long, and because many officials were Danish or had been educated in Denmark, Danish influence was prominent in vocabulary and style until the late eighteenth century.

== Numbers ==
 
In Icelandic genealogical records, numbers are occasionally spelled out. This is especially true of dates. The following list gives the cardinal (1, 2, 3) and the ordinal (1<sup>st</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup>, 3<sup>rd</sup>) versions of each number. In actual usage, days of the month are written in ordinal form.
