The official language of Iceland is Icelandic (although I don't know what that is). Probably a certain dialect.

Some Icelanders speak English, but many speak Icelandic, which is also the official language of the country. Icelandic is a Nordic language, which is a subset of Northern Germanic languages. (I've included some information about this in a link below). Preservation of this language by Icelanders is extremely important to them.
Other languages spoken in Iceland are English, Danish, Polish, German, and other Scandinavian languages.
I've included links to all of this information below. I hope this helps!

Myth of Eternity is right, but when you come from a small country and your language is not on the curriculum of schools in other countries, you learn one that is. English is still the most useful international language.
The demand for English teachers in China has grown hugely side by side with their economic boom and their need to communicate globally. If you have a person from Russia and a person from Brazil who want to communicate, chances are it will be in English.
