Icelanders speak Icelandic.  (Hm.., does this mean that the Swiss speak
Swiss? :)

Icelandic is one of the languages that developed from the ancient Nordic
tongue that the Vikings spoke.  Due to geographical reasons, Icelandic
is the one that is closest to the original language.  (The other
languages are Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.  Some people actually
prefer to think of these as dialects of the same language, but it
doesn't mean that a Swede will understand Icelandic, although Norwegian
and Danish are fairly understandable.)
