    @SimonRoyHughes There are languages that are losing speakers, and are on track to no longer be spoken, like Sámi and Kven.

    #Icelandic is not one of those languages, and it wasn't under Danish rule. 93% of the population of Iceland are native, daily speakers.

    Jakobsdóttir's anecdote that "kids in Iceland are even conversing in English sometimes between themselves" is not a serious challenge to this established pattern.
