What is the language of the Faroe Islands?

During the 14th and 15th centuries, Danish became the official language of the Faroe Islands, which were a part of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway. This made Faroese a primarily oral language, with few written records from this period. It wasn't until the 19th century that Faroese received renewed attention, fueled by the rise of the islands' national identity and the efforts of prominent Faroese linguists, such as Venceslaus Ulricus Hammershaimb.
