Is there a place in Iceland called "Lazytown"?

Question

Is english the only language in Iceland?

Answer 1

Lazytown is based on a children's fiction book by the Icelander Magnus Scheving

National language of Iceland, one of the Germanic languages. It developed from the Norse speech brought to Iceland by settlers from western Norway in the 9th – 10th centuries. Old Icelandic (see Old Norse) is the language of the sagas and other medieval poems. In grammar, vocabulary, and spelling, modern Icelandic is the most conservative of the Scandinavian languages; modern Icelanders can still read Old Norse sagas. Icelandic once borrowed words from Danish, Latin, and the Celtic and Romance languages, but a purist movement that began in the early 19th century has replaced most of these loanwords with words formed only from Icelandic elements.

No, there is no such place as Lazytown in Iceland. Lazytown is not a real place, it's a fictional place used in an Icelandic TV show for children. The name of the TV show is Lazytown.

The official language in Iceland is Icelandic. Most people in Iceland speak English and Danish as a foreign language and many speak some other languages too.

its a TV company

"Nickelodeon to produce Lazytown in Iceland

Nickelodeon Television Company and Lazytown have agreed on producing the children's series Lazytown in Iceland. The contract involves producing forty 30-minute episodes for the series, which will be released through Nickelodeon next year. Nickelodeon is the most popular children's television network in the United States, viewed in 86 million homes.

The series as a whole involves approximately one hundred people, with a US$ 15 million budget and will be produced in Icelandic studios. This demonstrates the wealth of talent available in Iceland, as well as competitive production costs, making it possible to almost double US$ screen value to actual cost."

Answer 7

It's a TV show

Iceland's official written and spoken language is Icelandic, a North Germanic language descended from Old Norse. It has changed less from Old Norse than the other Nordic languages, has preserved more verb and noun inflection, and has to a considerable extent developed new vocabulary based on native roots rather than borrowings from English.

English is widely spoken as a secondary language, and many Icelanders speak it at an almost native level. Danish is also widely understood. Other commonly spoken languages are German, Norwegian and Swedish. Danish is mostly spoken in a way largely comprehensible to Swedes and Norwegians – it is often referred to as "Scandinavian" in Iceland.
