Icelandic is the most ridiculously difficult language on the whole damn planet. It is a Scandinavian language, which means it screws over you, your mother and your dog. It is spoken on some isolated island somewhere (also known to some as Iceland). If you can speak Icelandic, you can do just about anything.
History
Icelandic came from Old Norse, the oldest most badass language in the world. It sounds like Faroese and Danish, two other badass languages. However, it doesn't sound ugly like Danish. It also isn't impossible to pronounce like Faroese. Still, the Danes couldn't keep their greasy hands off of it. It is now spoken in Denmark because they wanted an excuse for not using their own damn language. Of course, the USA did their part and more by allowing people to speak it there as well.
Pronunciation
Vowels
There are some new alphabet letters to memorize, which all are a bitch to type:
á, é, í, ú, ó, þ, and ð.
The first is pronounced like 'OW!', as if you just dropped a sledge hammer on your toes. The second, 'YEs'. Third, like the 'e' in "BEOTCH!". The fourth, 'cOOl'. The fifth, the 'oh' in "oh crap!". The last are pronounced as "THink" and "THis" respectively.
Consonants
For the record, the last two aren't vowels. A baby with Down's Syndrome could figure that one out. So why did I put them there? Just to piss you off. If you really must know how to pronounce the consonants, look up a pronunciation guide. This isn't a site based on fact.
Grammar
NOTE: This section is not for pussies; if you are one, turn back now
Well, crap. Where do I start? Icelandic grammar is retarded beyond belief.
