Movies: Best Movies in Faroese(Føroyskt mál)

Faroese ( FAIR-oh-EEZ, FARR-; endonym: føroyskt mál [ˈføːɹɪst ˈmɔaːl]) is a North Germanic language spoken as a first language by about 69,000 Faroe Islanders, of which 21,000 reside mainly in Denmark and elsewhere. It is one of five languages descended from Old West Norse spoken in the Middle Ages; the others include Norwegian, Icelandic, and the extinct Norn and Greenlandic Norse. Faroese and Icelandic, its closest extant relative, are not easily mutually intelligible in speech, but the written languages resemble each other quite closely, largely owing to Faroese's etymological orthography. ()

Faroese is spoken in Faroe Islands and 4 movies (between 1995 and 2017) with this language have been recorded so far. Most of these movies were shot in Faroe Islands (4).
