Traditions and customs
Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands have traditions rooted in Nordic culture. In the past over a period of 300 years, the language was not written down so that poems and stories were orally passed on from generation to generation. The Faroe Islands also boast a very active musical scene, while lace knitting remains a traditional handicraft.

    Literature
    In the Middle Ages many poems and stories were handed down orally. These works were split into the following divisions: sagnir (historical), ævintyr (stories) and kvæði (ballads, often set to music and dance). These were eventually written down in the 19th century. In the 13th century the Færinga Saga (Saga of the Faroe Islanders) was written in Iceland . It tells the story of the settlement and early history of the islands, though it is doubtful that it is entirely historically accurate. Faroese literature in the traditional sense of the word has only really developed in the past 100-200 years. This is mainly because of the island's isolation, and also because the Faroese language was not written down in a standardised format until . The Danish language was also encouraged at the expense of Faroese. Nevertheless, the Faroes have produced several authors and poets. In the early 1800's the nationalist Nólsoyar-Poul Poulson tried to end the trading monopoly that was affecting the islands. He wrote many poems, including his most famous work 'Fuglakvæði.' Other poets include the Djurhuus brothers and Rói Patursson. Other famous authors from the Faroes include Heðin Brú ('The Old Man and His Dog'), Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen (who wrote in Danish) and William Heinesen ('The Black Couldron,' who also wrote in Danish).

    Culture of the Faroe Islands has its roots in the Nordic culture. The Faroe Islands were long isolated from the main cultural phases and movements that swept across parts of Europe . This means that they have maintained a great part of their traditional culture. The language spoken is Faroese . It is one of three insular Scandinavian languages descended from the Old Norse language spoken in Scandinavia in the Viking Age , the others being Icelandic and the extinct Norn , which is thought to have been mutually intelligible with Faroese. Until the 15th century, Faroese had a similar orthography to Icelandic and Norwegian , but after the Reformation 1538, the ruling Danes outlawed its use in schools, churches and official documents. This maintained a rich spoken tradition, but for 300 years the language was not written down. This means that all poems and stories were handed down orally. These works were split into the following divisions: sagnir (historical)
