celandic is a North-Germanic language related to Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. The language can be traced back to Old Norse brought by settlers from Norway in the 9th and 10th centuries. Ideal for businesspeople, travelers, and students, this dictionary features over 18,000 word-to-word entries, including common words as well as technical, legal, business and locally-specific terms (local cities, foods, and cultural terms). Also included are guides to the Icelandic alphabet and pronunciation, as well as a usage guide which outlines the parts of speech.

"Helga Hilmisdóttir's excellent new Icelandic-English/English-Icelandic Practical Dictionary makes a truly welcome appearance for North American learners who have lacked access to any acceptable dictionaries of Icelandic, particularly English-IcelandicThis dictionary includes up-to-date vocabulary for modern technology, and the Icelandic-English side concisely provides enough grammatical information in each entry to allow students to figure out the correct endings for nouns and verbs. Translations for important abbreviations in both languages are also included. This book will mark a major advance in English-speaking students' ability to learn Icelandic, and will be a useful reference for anyone who has an interest in the Land of Fire and Ice.”
