"Icelandic is spoken today by barely 340,000 people"

The population of Iceland is 334,252.

[dsr_]

Seems reasonable that there could be 6000 or so Icelandic speakers outside Iceland.

[astrodust]

Many live and work abroad, plus there's several pockets of Icelanders in various countries, like one notable group in Western Canada as you'd see in places like Gimli, Manitoba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli,_Manitoba

It's not clear how many still speak Icelandic, but there's heritage.

Plus 5000 or so scholars around the world specializing in the Norse sagas.

There are certainly many more than that ordinary Icelanders living in other countries, and they still know the language. (I'd guess it's tens of thousands).
