Morphology and lemmas

Beygingarlýsing íslensks nútímamáls. Kristín Bjarnadóttir, ritstjóri. Stofnun Árna Magnússonar í íslenskum fræðum. CC BY-SA 4.0.

Release 2026-08-11, Kristínarsnið. Every lemma, inflected form and grammatical tag in the reader comes from it. bin.arnastofnun.is · CC BY-SA 4.0

Share-alike applies to the lemma and morphology data itself. Anything we redistribute that carries it stays under the same licence. It does not reach a teacher’s own text, the narration, or this software.

Word frequencies

Arnardóttir, Þórunn and Ingason, Anton Karl, 2023. Frequency lists for Icelandic 23.06. University of Iceland. CC BY 4.0.

From the Icelandic Gigaword Corpus. It decides which words a text teaches and which level they belong to. hdl.handle.net/20.500.12537/314 · CC BY 4.0

How the words sound

Icelandic Pronunciation Dictionary for Language Technology. Stofnun Árna Magnússonar í íslenskum fræðum og Reykjavík University. CC BY 4.0.

The transcription on a word card comes from this dictionary and from nowhere else. A word it does not carry is shown without one: a guess at how Icelandic is said is how a word is learnt wrong. github.com/grammatek/iceprondict · CC BY 4.0

Narration

Synthesised with Voicemaker, voice ai3-is-IS-Svana. Word timings are estimated from the audio rather than reported by the provider; see the reader for where that shows.

Icons

Lucide, under the ISC licence. One family on one grid: the control that opens a sheet on a phone is drawn rather than named, because a word that size is most of the bar. lucide.dev

Typefaces

Instrument Sans by Instrument, and Newsreader by Production Type, both under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. They are served from this site rather than from a font service, so opening a page tells nobody but us that you did. SIL Open Font License 1.1
