	Icelandic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Icelandic (íslenska) is a North Germanic language spoken in Iceland.
		Icelandic orthography is notable for its retention of two old letters which no longer exist in the English alphabet: þ (thorn) and ð (eth or edh), representing the voiceless and voiced "th" sounds as in English thin and this respectively.
		Icelandic phonology is somewhat unusual for European languages in having an aspiration contrast in its plosives, rather than a voicing contrast (though, in fact, English exhibits some characteristics of such a contrast).

		Iceland was first settled by Scandinavians, mainly Norwegians (Vikings), and Celtic (Scottish and Irish) immigrants during the late 9th and 10th century.
		Iceland remained independent for over 300 years, and was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark, formally as a Norwegian crown colony until 1814 when the united kingdoms of Denmark and Norway were separated by the treaty of Kiel, and Iceland was kept by Denmark as a dependency.
		Iceland has a Coast Guard (Landhelgisgæslan) and a SWAT team which is called Víkingasveitin (Viking Squad) and is under the command of the Reykjavík chief of police.

		Iceland was first settled by Norwegianss and Celtic (Scottish and Irish) immigrants during the late 9th and 10th century.
		Iceland's ancient parliament, Alþingi, has been in place since medieval times.
		The extent of the political powers posessed by the office are disputed by legal scholars in Iceland, several provisions of the constitution appear to give the president some important powers but other provisions and traditions seem to suggest otherwise.
