Faroese people
Association of Writers of the Faroe Islands (in Faroese called Rithøvundafelag Føroya) is an association for authors and translators who write in the Faroese language. These authors live primarily in the Faroe Islands, but some of them also live in other countries. Some Faroese writers write not only in Faroese but also in Danish, but most Faroese writers write primarily in Faroese. The Faroese language is only spoken by the Faroese people of the Faroe Islands, which currently have a population of 50.000 people. The Association of Writers of the Faroe Islands was established in 1957.
