caption_attribution_description: Dansk: Våben for Tåsinge (1610 udgave). Jeg er ikke sikker på hvorfor Thiset medtog Tåsinge blandt en samling herredsvåben. Teksten omtaler ikke specifikt Tåsinge som et herred. Illustration fra Anders Thisets artikel Om danske By- og Herredsvaaben trykt i Tidsskrift for Kunstindustri 1893-1894. English: Coat of arms of Tåsinge, 1610 version. I am not sure why Thiset includes Tåsinge in this list as he doesn't describe it as a hundred. Illustration from the article Om danske By- og Herredsvaaben written by Anders Thiset and published in Tidsskrift for Kunstindustri 1893-1894.
context_page_description: Tåsinge is a Danish island immediately south of Funen, opposite and facing Svendborg, divided from Funen by Svendborgsund. The island covers an area of circa 70 km². It is part of the South Funen Archipelago and has 6,111 inhabitants. The Danish national road 9 crosses the island.
  Until the municipality reform of 1970, the island retained its own municipality. Since 1970, it has been part of Svendborg Municipality.
  Before the 1960s, when the island became connected to Funen via the Svendborgsund Bridge and to Langeland via the Langeland Bridge, it was served by ferries from Svendborg to Vindeby and from Vemmenæs to Rudkøbing respectively.
  Until 2011 the public schools on the island consisted of two separate entities, Lundby Skole and Sundhøjskolen, but in 2011 they were merged into a single structure called Tåsingeskolen with close to 800 pupils, by far the largest school in the entire municipality.
  The inhabitants of the island refer to themselves as Tøsinger. The local dialect called tåsingsk is still in use on the island, though not as common as in the past.
