Faroese People
The Faroese or Faroe Islanders (Føroyingar) are a Germanic ethnic group native to the Faeroe Islands. The Faroese are of mixed Norse and Gaelic origins. About 21,000 Faroese live in neighbouring countries, particularly in Denmark, Iceland and Norway. Nowadays, most Faroese people are Danish citizens.
The Faroese language is a West Scandinavian language, closely related to Icelandic and more distantly to western Norwegian dialects.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The universal regard for money is the one hopeful fact in our civilisation. Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honour, generosity and beauty.... Not the least of its virtues is that it destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
