yea but actually it really isn't sued that much. Only really only the really important words use it (the, these, those, thought, etc.) and occasionally like in the word Neither. No where near as often as it is used in Icelandic, along with the þ. Personally I think the eth and thorn would look awsome in English.

They existed in the Old English Alphabet but were discarded in the late Middle ages. I would add them again

It sounds like ancient Swedish. :) Also, þ and ð should be added to ðe English alfabet, seeing as how much it is used in ðe language.

It is not a type of Faroese, and it is nothing like Spanish or Italian. Icelandic is far closer to the original Norse languages than Faroese.

Start by asking yourself why... If you never figure out why, you'll never learn. And I don't mean just because you want to.

Icelantic is a type of Faroese it´s just pronounced more like spannish/italian. can´t help it..sometimes when i hear icelantic then it reminds of spanish/italian.
