The Danish language is the official language in Denmark.[1] In the Faroe Islands, the Faroese language and the Danish language are the official languages, and both must be taught in schools. Danish should be used in court,[1] but Faroese can be used in all other official places.[2] The Greenlandic language is the official language in Greenland, and Greenland's Home Rule Act of 2009 does not require Danish to be taught or the use of Danish for official purposes.[1] In accordance with Denmark's official monolingualism, all official documents and communications are in Danish.[3]
