The Faroese Language Board (in Faroese: Málráðið, before 2012, Føroyska málnevndin) is the language regulator of the Faroese language. It was founded in April 1985, and it is located in Tórshavn. The board aims to strengthen and further develop the Faroese language and advise the Faroese government on language issues. The board has, among other things, the task of setting the writing style for new words that enter the language and to ensure that the public uses the language satisfactorily. The Language Board is subject to the Faroese Ministry of Culture.
The Council is a member of the Nordic Language Council [da], which is part of the Nordic Council.
