What are your thoughts on Icelandic? Wouldn't you call it a language worth learning and incorporating into your books?

I am sure Icelandic is worth learning, and would love to incorporate it into a book if a suitable book occurred to me. (Of course, failure to include a language in a book does not really imply that it is not worth learning.) To tell the truth, I thought I HAD incorporated Icelandic into The Last Samurai until my Norwegian publisher explained, appalled, that what was in the book was Old Norse.
