INTRODUCTION: THE LANGUAGE AND THE DANCE

by one another; the dance turns inwards and can be difficult to appreciate from the outside. You have to participate, and when it is at its best the chain melts together and you feel a part of something vast. The collection and documenta­ tion of the vast amount of oral material formed the foundation for the preservation of the language. The establishment of the written language in the middle of the 19th century created the basis for the renewal that has taken place. While other languages disappear, the Faroese language is developing and is today the pride of Faroese culture.
