The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Since it is a West Scandinavian language, it is most closely related to Faroese, western Norwegian dialects, and the extinct language Norn.
- It is not mutually intelligible with the continental Scandinavian languages and is more distinct from the most widely spoken Germanic languages, English and German.
- The written forms of Icelandic and Faroese are very similar, but their spoken forms are not mutually intelligible.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Icelandic language article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
