Icelandic is the official language of Iceland, with around 350,000 native speakers. It's the most linguistically conservative of the Scandinavian languages, retaining grammatical features lost in Norwegian and Swedish — speakers of modern Icelandic can read 13th-century Old Norse sagas with relatively little adjustment. The US Icelandic-American community is small and concentrated in North Dakota, Manitoba-adjacent Minnesota, and parts of Utah, with deep roots in late-19th-century farming migration. Most of our Icelandic translation work is genealogy and Icelandic civil records, plus the occasional commercial contract.
