Frequently Asked Questions

What is an online Icelandic keyboard and who needs one?

An online Icelandic keyboard (Íslenskt lyklaborð) is a virtual keyboard that displays Icelandic letters on your screen, allowing you to type in Icelandic without installing any software. It's essential for the 350,000+ Icelandic speakers, tourists planning trips to Iceland, and anyone studying Old Norse or Icelandic literature.

What are the unique Icelandic letters ð and þ?

Icelandic preserves two letters from Old Norse: Ð/ð (eth) represents the voiced 'th' sound as in 'this' or 'father'. Þ/þ (thorn) represents the unvoiced 'th' as in 'thing' or 'thought'. English used to have these letters too! They're essential for Icelandic spelling.

Why is Icelandic considered unchanged since Viking times?

Icelandic has changed very little in 1,000 years due to Iceland's isolation and conscious language preservation. Modern Icelanders can read the medieval Sagas and Eddas in the original! New words are created from Old Norse roots rather than borrowed from English.
