A census of Iceland from 1703 was recommended for inclusion<\/a> in the Memory of the World Register, a UNESCO list of registered world heritage. The census was conducted by \u00c1rni Magn\u00fasson and P\u00e1ll V\u00eddal\u00edn, and determined that Iceland had a population of 50,366 people at the time.<\/p>\n

Arni Magnusson and Pall Vidalin’s census from 1703 was accepted for inclusion today in the UNESCO (United Nations Cultural Institute) Memory of the World list.<\/em><\/p>\n

The word for census isn’t too hard to follow; mann<\/strong> coming from ma\u00f0ur<\/strong>, and tal<\/strong> the word for number, count<\/em>.<\/p>\n

About 300 important documents on on this list, whose purpose is to completely preserve the catalogued heritage and make it accessible to all. The census is the oldest complete census still preserved in the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

I had seen skjal<\/strong> before; it’s another of the nouns that makes its plural with the a -> \u00f6<\/strong> shift (like barn<\/strong> -> b\u00f6rn<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n

The UNESCO article uses the word “nominal census”, which is one that list all members of the household, so n\u00e1kv\u00e6mur<\/strong> has a specific meaning in this instance.<\/p>\n
