How 16 different dialects around The Faroe Islands sound when they speak english
How 16 different dialects around The Faroe Islands sound when they speak english.
Faroese is one of the smallest languages in the World. Yet there are there few if any language which have more dialects compared to the number of people who speak the language.
On this video you can hear 16 people representing 16 dialects around The Faroe Islands trying to persuade you to visit their town or village. Localpatriotism is firm in The Faroe Islands. On the video you can see locations of the villages, towns and islands on the Map of The Faroe Islands and photos from the villages, towns and islands represented in the video.
The dialects are stressed extra much when the 16 people say the name of their local town, village or island.
Performed and soundrecorded by Heri Simonsen from Tórshavn.
The film is produced end edited by Árni Laksáfoss Simonsen from Argir.
This film is a tribute to the richness and treasure of dialects we have in The Faroe Islands. A treasure that hopefully will be preserved in the Future.
Top Places to See in the Faroe Islands
???? WATCH: Top Things to See & Do in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
Welcome to the Faroe Islands! The Faroe Islands in Danish means the Islands of the Sheep, and you will see why! It’s located in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles off the coast of Northern Europe, between Norway and Iceland. The first people to colonize the islands were Norwegians about 1,200 years ago and it become a major Viking settlement in that time. Its main industries are fishing and tourism - people come to experience its natural beauty, incredible bird life and delicious Faroese gastronomy.
First up is Gasadalur, which for a long time it was the most isolated town in the Faroe Islands. It’s a very popular town to hike to because of its natural scenery and its cliff views. In 2006 they opened a tunnel to make the town more accessible. Fun fact: Gasadalur means Goose Valley.
Lake Sorvagsvatn is the biggest lake in the Faroe Islands. It has an area of 3.4 sqkm, and its located on the island of Vagar, where the airport is. It takes a few hours to hike around the entire lake, so get your hiking boots ready! The best way to see the lake is by helicopter, the only way to see the lake emptying out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Torshavn is one of the smallest and most pleasant capital cities in the world! Torshavn in Old Norse means Thor, God of Thunder. It’s a modern city with the highest concentration of hotels, restaurants and cafes in the islands. You can explore the old Tinganes district where the parliament building is. You can see the national museum, check out some galleries, see the harbor and dine at some delicious modern and traditional restaurants.
Now we head to the southernmost village in Streymoy, Kirkjubour. This was the religious center on the Faroe Islands for over 1,000 years until the reformation. We came to see the 13th century ruins of the Saint Agnes Cathedral, the House museum and a middle age church.
We head north on Streymoy to Saksun. This is a beautiful town with turf roof houses. The best time come is during low tide because you can see the beach and walk on a sand bar to the lagoon. There are no restaurants here so be sure to bring a snack for a picnic!
Tjornuvik is the northernmost town on the island of Streymoy. It’s a quiet village, but the scenery is beautiful its beach has epic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Next up is Gjogv, the northernmost town on the Island of Eysturoy, the second largest island in the Faroes. It’s a small scenic village with a charming bed and breakfast. We stayed a night, but you can just as easily just come for the day. Gjogv is undoubtedly on of most picturesque places in the Faroe Islands. The name Gjogv means gorge – it was named after the village’s natural gorge
Klaksvik is the second largest town in the country and from here you can take a ferry to Kalsoy. I suggest you pass by Bakariio Jorun (Bakery Jorun) and grab a snack or lunch. They have plenty of Danish-style toasts with different toppings, as well as homemade pastries, coffee, and beverages.
A 25-minute ferry ride will take you to Kalsoy, AKA island of the man. There is one road that travels up the east side of the island connecting a handful of villages. Kalsoy is the best place in the Faroe Islands to go hiking. Or, you can just drive around and snap tons of photos of this picturesque island.
Next is Vidoy, the northernmost island in the archipelago. Here we visited Vidareidi. The northern islands are more traditional, less modern but if you love taking photos of amazing scenery then you must visit Vidareidi.
Lastly we are heading to the Island of Mykines! We took a helicopter but you can also take a ferry. Once you arrive you need to hike about 90 minutes west to see all the sea birds. There are over a dozen species of birds like the Gannet, Fulmar, Starling, Gulls, Razorbills and the most famous that everyone comes to see are the Puffins! Be sure to bring a packed lunch, drinking water, a warm outfit, comfy shoes, and don’t forget your camera!

Where to Eat in Torshavn, Faroe Islands
Where to Eat in Torshavn, Faroe Islands
►Read the blog:
Here we explore the best flavors of the Faroe Islands’ capital city of Torshavn. In this episode, David visits the three best restaurants in the capital: Aarstova, Koks and Etika. Our first stop is Aarstova. Situated in one of the oldest houses in Torshavn (dating back to the 1600’s), this unique restaurant specializes in rustic Faroese cuisine. Using local ingredients and family-style serving, Aarstova plays off the antiquated atmosphere of the house giving its guests a truly memorable dining experience. If you love shellfish, fish or lamb (their signature braised lamb leg dish is amazing!), then a visit to this idyllic Torshavn restaurant is a must!
The Faroe Islands are known across the world for their incredible seafood. The Faroe Islands’ capital city of Torshavn is (surprisingly) home to only one sushi restaurant, Etika. Etika takes the Islands’ ocean specialties and crafts them into some of the world’s most delicious sushi creations. With such fresh ingredients including some of the world’s best salmon at their fingertips, Etika is able to produce delicious arrangements with standards and quality that compete with the best Japanese restaurants. If you are a sushi lover looking to sample some of the freshest sushi in the world, dining at Etika is an absolute must!
And we saved the best for last, Koks Restaurant. A contemporary, fusion restaurant perched on a hill overlooking the small capital, Koks serves up traditional Faroese cuisine with a Michelin Star-worthy twist. Each selection on the menu has been infused with native ingredients and flavors, giving guests an exclusive taste of what the Faroe Islands have to offer. I decided to go with a delicious tasting menu. What better way to explore the best of what a destination has to offer than through its food? Next time you’re traveling to the Faroe Islands, make sure you stop into Koks Restaurant- an incredible culinary journey!
Thank you for watching Where to Eat in Torshavn, Faroe Islands!

THE FAROE ISLANDS RAP
By Danny Robins
The Faroe Islands Rap is Danny Robins' tribute to the Faroe Islands. The aim is to get it 48,819 views - the number of people there are in the Faroes. Please send it to your friends!
Music by Ben Walker.
Video filmed and edited by Pete Velluet.
Invaluable assistance by Will Morley
Thanks to everyone we've met in the Faroes!
LYRICS:
Yo people, listen to what I gotta say.
Before you book your holiday.
You want somewhere not too frantic
Possibly in the middle of the Atlantic
Check me out, here we go, c'mon!
I was...
Feelin' kind of stressed so I booked a holiday
To a tiny destination, a long way away
Stepped off the plane and -- holy shizzle!
Welcome to the Faroes - it's the bizzle.
Eighteen islands to explore so I jumped in my car,
Met some of the locals - how you doing? - Baa!
Climbed up a mountain - the name? I'm not sure.
But I'll give it a go - Slættaratindur
Welcome to the Land of Maybe
Yeah yeah Faroe Islands in the house.
Come to the Faroes -- it's so lovely
It's a painted wooden house, with a grassy roof.
Meet nice people when you go out hiking
How do they get the lawnmowers up there? Respect.
But you better watch out 'cos they're genetically viking
Faroe! Faroe! Faroe! Faroe!
It's my favourite archipelago
Torshavn, Klaksvik, Gasadalur, Bour
Are they good for tourists? ~ Sure!
If you're trying the food~, I'll give you some tips~,
Be a little daring, order puffin and chips
Let me hear you say Faroes -- Faroes!
Fiji, Barbados, Corfu, Bermuda,
I hate to offend ya but I have to refuse ya
Cos when it comes to islands that get my devotion,
I look no further than the North Atlantic ocean
The weather's so mysterious, no two days are the same
Sometimes wet and windy, sometimes just the rain.
The Faroes will amaze you, yeah you'd better be warned -
Like a midget bodybuilder. Small but perfectly formed.
Welcome to the Land of Maybe
It's not Scotland, it's not Iceland,
The Faroe Islands have embraced me.
It's kind of in the middle. Like Sc-iceland
The scenery is incredibly striking
But less Scots and less ice.
Excuse me now while I get a little Viking.
Faroe! Faroe! Faroe! Faroe!
It's my favorite archipelago
They've got lots of sheep so they ain't short on wool
To knit crazy jumpers that are totally cool~.
So, come on everybody and sing this song
Cos half a million puffins can't be wrong.
Faroe! Faroe! Faroe! Faroe!
Boom!
I'm talking Faroes -- and I don't mean Egypt.
Big up. Peace. We out.
FAROESE TRANSLATION:
Hey tit, lurtið eftir tí sum eg havi at siga
Áðrenn tit avgera hvar tit fara.
Og staðið skal ikki vera ov vilt
Kanska miðskeiðis í Atlantarhavinum
Kekka meg út, so fara vit, kom!
Eg var...
Strongdur, so eg bókaði mær eina ferð
Til eitt lítið samfelag, ikki langt vekk frá her
Steig av flogfarinum og -- halt nú kj...!
Vælkomin til Føroyar - Her er alt.
Átjan oyggjar at granska, so eg fór í mín bil,
Møtti nøkrum lokaum - hvussu hevur tú tað? Maa!
Klatraði upp eitt fjall - navnið? Ikki eri eg vísur
Men eg gevi tí eina roynd - Slættaratindur
Vælkomin til the Land of Maybe
Yeah yeah, Føroyar er í húsinum
Komið til Føroyar -- her er so gott.
Tað er eitt málað træhús, við tekju við grasi
Møt fittum fólkum, tá tú fert út at ganga
Hvussu fáa tey pleniklipparnar upp har? Respekt.
Men ansað tær, tí tey hava víkingablóð
Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar!
Tað er mítt yndis oyggjasamfelag
Tórshavn, Klaksvík, Gásadalur, Bøur
Eru tað støð fyri ferðafólk? - Sjálvandi!
Um tú roynir matin, lat meg geva tær nøkur tips,
Ver eitt sindur djarvur, royn lunda og kips
Lat meg hoyra teg siga Føroyar -- Føroyar!
Fiji, Barbados, Corfu, Bermuda,
Eg vil ei vera frekur, men eg má tala ímóti
Tí tá tað kemur til oyggjar, ið eru úr gróti
Eg hyggi ei víðari, enn til Norður Atlantar havið
Veðrið er so loyndarfult, eingin dagur er hin sami
Nakrar dagar vátt og vindur, onkuntíð bert regn
Føroyar fara at bergtaka teg, yeah nú er henda ávaring farin tín veg
Sum ein lítil sterkur vættur. Ei stórur men vælskaptur
Vælkomin til the Land of Maybe
Tað er ei Skotland, eiheldur Ísland
Føroyar hava tikið um meg.
Tað er nakað í miðjuni, nakað sum Sk-ísland
Náttúran er ótrúliga vøkur
Men minni av Skotum og minni av ísi.
Orsaka meg, men nú er ein Víkingur á veg.
Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar!
tað er mítt yndis oyggjasamfelag
Tey hava nógvan seyð, so tey mangla ei ull
Til at binda ørar troyggur, sum eru púrasta kul.
So, komið nú øll, og syngi henda sang
Tí ein hálv millión lundar, kunnu ei taka feil.
Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar!
Boom!
Eg tosi um Føroyar -- og eg meini ei við Egyptaland.
Tummilin up. Vit eru farin.

Faroe Islands: Lost Luggage, Broken Bike
First day of my bike tour on the Faroe Islands and already things are falling apart. Hard to say whats worse not having a change of clothes, or having your pedal fall off after a couple minutes of riding. Anyway, the Faroe Island videos are long overdue. I'll slowly release them over the next little while. Like the dripping of a slowly leaking faucet.

Outlandish Faroe Islands
A great trip to the beatiful islands of Faroe. Wild untamed nature what an experience. We performed on their national day which had them all dressed up in traditional clothes. Never tried to wake up with goats and sheeps right outside our hotel window truly an unforgettable and outlandish trip.

The Truth Story: Whaling in the Faroe Islands
The Faroese authorities regulate it. Around 800 long-finned pilot whales have slaughtered annually. That is 1% of the entire whales.
The hunts, called grindadráp in Faroese, are non-commercial and are organized on a community level. Anyone who has a special training certificate on slaughtering a pilot whale with the spinal-cord lance can participate.
This was not necessary earlier, but because of constant criticism from animal welfare organizations, the Faroese people try to improve the slaughtering methods to make them more humane.
The Grind law was updated in 2015, where one of the regulations demanded that the whalers followed a course on how to slaughter a pilot whale with the spinal-cord lance. The police and Grindaformenn are allowed to remove people from the grind area.
The hunters first surround the pilot whales with a wide semicircle of boats. The boats then drive the pilot whales into a bay or to the bottom of a fjord.
Not all bays are certified, and the slaughter will only take place on a certified beach.
BACKPACKING IN FAROE ISLANDS
