Faroese was a dialect of Old Norse, and appeared as a separate language only due to its insular, isolate position. And nevertheless, Faroese now looks quite like Icelandic nad resembles Danish very much. There are plenty of dialects of the tongue on different islands, and no fixed literary form of it exists except the language of ancient sagas and fables written since the 14th century and popular even nowadays.
