Faroese-English Dictionary (Orðabók)

The online, searchable Faroese-English and English-Faroese dictionaries are now accessible for free at Sprotin. Sprotin discontinued publishing the Føroysk-Ensk/English-Faroese dictionaries and previously offered a subscription service to access an online version of them, making ongoing study of the Faroese language costly. Now, with over 140,000 entries combined, studying Faroese has never been easier. The searchable dictionary does not recognize the inflections of nouns and verbs, so some understanding of Faroese grammar is still required. Twelve other dictionaries are also available for students who speak German, Danish, Spanish, and a dictionary for translating Russian into Faroese.
