Icelandic hasn’t changed much over the centuries, meaning that the original Icelandic sagas from the 12th century can still be read with ease by today's Icelandic speakers. The language descends from Old Norse and is closely related to Faroese, although the two are not mutually understood. Icelandic prefers to create its own words for new terms rather than borrow English loanwords, with results such as 'tölva' for computer, made up of the words 'tala' - number - and 'völva' - prophetess.
