An Entity of Type: WikicatFaroeIslands, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The culture of the Faroe Islands has its roots in the Nordic culture. The Faroe Islands were long isolated from the main cultural phases and movements that swept across parts of Europe. This means that they have maintained a great part of their traditional culture. The language spoken is Faroese. It is one of three insular Scandinavian languages descended from the Old Norse language spoken in Scandinavia in the Viking Age, the others being Icelandic and the extinct Norn, which is thought to have been mutually intelligible with Faroese. Until the 15th century, Faroese had a similar orthography to Icelandic and Norwegian, but after the Reformation in 1538, the ruling Danes outlawed its use in schools, churches and official documents. This maintained a rich spoken tradition, but for 300 years

  • The culture of the Faroe Islands has its roots in the Nordic culture. The Faroe Islands were long isolated from the main cultural phases and movements that swept across parts of Europe. This means that they have maintained a great part of their traditional culture. The language spoken is Faroese. It is one of three insular Scandinavian languages descended from the Old Norse language spoken in Scandinavia in the Viking Age, the others being Icelandic and the extinct Norn, which is thought to have been mutually intelligible with Faroese. Until the 15th century, Faroese had a similar orthography to Icelandic and Norwegian, but after the Reformation in 1538, the ruling Danes outlawed its use in schools, churches and official documents. This maintained a rich spoken tradition, but for 300 years the language was not written down. This means that all poems and stories were handed down orally. These works were split into the following divisions: sagnir (historical), ævintyr (stories) and kvæði (ballads, often set to music and the mediaeval chain dance). These were eventually written down in the 19th century mostly by Danish scholars. (en)
  • La cultura de las islas Feroe hunde sus raíces en la cultura nórdica. Durante largo tiempo las islas Feroe han estado aisladas de las fases y movimientos culturales que se han extendido por Europa, lo que significa que han conservado gran parte de su cultura tradicional autóctona. El lenguaje hablando en las islas es el feroés. Es una de las tres lenguas escandinavas insulares que desciende del Nórdico Antiguo que se hablaba en Escandinavia durante la Era Vikinga, siendo las otras el islandés y el extinto lenguaje norn, que se cree era muy similar al feroés. Hasta el siglo XV el feroés tenía una ortografía similar al islandés y el noruego, pero tras la Reforma Protestante de 1538 los gobernantes daneses prohibieron su uso en escuelas, iglesias y documentos oficiales. Sin embargo los feroeses mantuvieron una rica tradición oral a pesar de que durante tres siglos apenas escribieron en su idioma. Todos los poemas e historias en lengua feroesa se han conservado oralmente. Las obras literarias se dividen en sagnir (históricas), ævintyr (cuentos) y kvæði (baladas), a menudo compuestas para ser acompañadas de música y danzas medievales. Gran parte de la tradición oral feroesa fue transcrita durante el renacimiento cultural del siglo XIX. (es)
  • La culture des îles Féroé a ses racines dans la culture nordique. Les îles Féroé ont longtemps été isolées des mouvements culturels qui ont traversé l'Europe au fil des siècles, elles ont donc conservé une grande partie de leur culture traditionnelle. (fr)
  • La cultura delle Fær Øer trova le proprie radici nella cultura nordica. Le Fær Øer sono rimaste a lungo isolate dai movimenti culturali che hanno attraversato l'Europa nel corso dei secoli, conservando così gran parte della propria cultura tradizionale. (it)
