The Faroe Islands - population 49.000 - is one of the smallest nations in the world. It consists of 18 rocky islands in the middle of the North Atlantic. Their position is approximately 602 km west of Norway and 310 km northwest of Scotland. This tiny country, which formed during the Tertiary and got its characteristic profile in the Glacial Age, rests on a gigantic underwater mountain range, reaching from Scotland to Greenland.

The once volcanic islands have a total area of 1400 square km. The landscape is marked by horizontal basaltic layers that form terraces and ledges on slopes and mountain-sides - and shelves in the perpendicular coasts, which serve as nesting places for millions of sea birds and as footpaths for undaunted and omnipresent flocks of sheep.

Naming

In Danish, the name "Færøerne" may reflect an Old Norse word "fær" ("sheep"). The morpheme "øerne" represents a plural (with definite article) of "ø" ("island") in Danish. The Danish name thus translates as "the islands of sheep".

In Faroese, the name appears as "Føroyar". "Oyar" represents the plural of "oy", older Faroese for "island", the modern Faroese word for island is "oyggj".
...

Faroese language

Faroese (føroyskt) is a North Germanic language spoken as a native language by about 66,000 people, 45,000 of whom reside on the Faroe Islands and 21,000 in other areas, mainly Denmark. It is one of four languages descended from Old West Norse spoken in the Middle Ages, the others being Norwegian, Icelandic, and the extinct Norn, which is thought to have been mutually intelligible with Faroese. Faroese and Icelandic, its closest extant relative, are not mutually intelligible in speech, but the written languages resemble each other quite closely, largely owing to Faroese's etymological orthography.
...

"Faroe Islands" (Danish: "Færøerne", Faroese: "Føroyar"), from Old Norse "Føroyar" - literally, "Sheep Islands", from their dense population of sheep. Another theory suggests that the lexeme "fár-" / "fær-" instead derives from Celtic and means "distant".

Danish Krone and the euro

As a part of the European Union, Denmark was originally going to adopt the euro. However, when the euro was launched in 1999, Denmark opted out through the Edinburgh Agreement. In 2000, a referendum was held to decide whether or not the euro would be introduced. 53.2% of the population was opposed to adopting the euro. The Danish Krone remains connected by the Exchange Rate Mechanism II (ERM II) with an exchange rate tied within 2.25% of the euro.

Die knapp 50.000 Inselbewohner - die Färinger, auch Färöer genannt - betrachten sich nicht als Dänen, sondern als eigenständiges Volk, das von den Wikingern auf den Färöern abstammt. Sie sprechen die färöische Sprache, die aus dem Altwestnordischen entstanden ist und mit dem Isländischen und dem Norwegischen verwandt ist.
