Book Details
Icelandic is a North-Germanic language related to Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. The language can be traced back to Old Norse brought by settlers from Norway in the 9th and 10th centuries. Ideal for businesspeople, travelers, and students, this dictionary features over 18,000 word-to-word entries, including common words as well as technical, legal, business and locally-specific terms (local cities, foods, and cultural terms). Also included are guides to the Icelandic alphabet and pronunciation, as well as a usage guide which outlines the parts of speech.
Helga Hilmisdttir is an associate professor at the University of Helsinki in Finland. She is co-author of Beginner's Icelandic with 2 Audio CDs, also published by Hippocrene Books.
