The IcelandicLiterature was created by the inhabitants of Iceland from the country's settlement in the 9th century AD to the present.
Iceland is most famous for its medieval sagas, written between the 12th and 14th centuries.
After Iceland's loss of independence in the 1260s, Icelandicliterature declined, and from about 1400 to the 19th century hardly any literary prose was written, with the exception of a notable Icelandic translation of the Bible by 16th-century Protestant theologians.
The Icelandic alphabet is notable for its retention of two old letters which no longer exist in the English alphabet: Þ,þ (þorn, anglicized as "thorn") and Ð,ð (eð, anglicized as "eth" or "edh"), representing the voiceless and voiced "th" sounds as in English thin and this respectively.
Icelandic is an inflected language with four cases: nominative, accusative, dative and genitive.
Icelandic is SVO (subject-verb-object), generally speaking, with the subject and verb switched in questions and when a sentence begins with an adverb.
