Is it true, that on Iceland, who have been independent since 1945 still learn Danish in the school ?
Why if I may ask ?

I don't know about that, but a lot of Iceland's population are Danish so it would make sense. Danish is one of the main foreign languages there as well.

They learn Danish in the school. They can choose to learn Swedish or Norwegian also, but far most choose to learn Danish. Also because many later move on to Denmark for education.

Iceland's respectable written and spoken language is Icelandic, a North Germanic language descended from previous Norse. It has replaced much less from previous Norse than the different Nordic languages, has preserved extra verb and noun inflection, and has to a important quantity developed new vocabulary in accordance with community roots truly than borrowings from English. that's the only residing language to maintain the runic letter Þ. the closest residing language to Icelandic is Faroese. In education, using Icelandic sign Language for the Deaf in Iceland is regulated via the nationwide Curriculum handbook. English is broadly spoken, and intensely some Icelanders talk it at a almost community point. Danish is likewise broadly understood. analyzing the two those languages is a mandatory element of the mandatory college curriculum.[c74d97b01eae257e44aa9d5bade97bafc74d97b01eae257e44aa9d5bade97baf] different frequently spoken languages are German, Norwegian and Swedish. Danish is frequently spoken in a fashion many times comprehensible to Swedes and Norwegians – this is many times noted as "Scandinavian" in Iceland.

They also learn English as well. All schools teach students about five different languages. Iceland has one of the highest literacy rates in the world.

America has been independent since 1776, and we still speak English.

I don't think they do, anyway just a little all the Scandinavian languages are related and it's very easy to learn the others if you know one.
