How many people speak Icelandic?

Answer:
I've never heard/seen any real statistics, but I think we can safely guess the number is under 1 million. There are approximately 300,000 people living in Iceland, and since it's one of the most difficult languages to learn (and if you do manage to learn it, there's only one small island to practice it on), I would be very surprised if there are over 1 million people who speak Icelandic fluently.
