framsóknardanska

Icelandic

Etymology

From framsókn +‎ danska. Presumably named after the Icelandic progressives (framsóknarmenn) that were pushing for Danish to be taught in Iceland. Icelanders became familiar with reading and writing in Danish, but lacked pronunciation skills, thus creating a form of Danish spoken with a lot of features of Icelandic pronunciation.

Noun

framsóknardanska f (genitive singular framsóknardönsku, no plural)

1. (humorous) The Danish language as spoken by Icelanders.

   Auðskildar voru aldrei mér enska, þýska og franska. En torskildust þó af tungum er töluð framsóknardanska.

   English, German and French were never easy for me. But the most difficult of them is spoken framsóknardanska.
