Faeroae

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [fae̯ˈroː.ae̯]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [feˈrɔː.e]

Probably an adaptation of Danish Færø. The -ae termination reflects the feminine gender of Old Norse Færeyjar and its descendants (common gender in Danish and Swedish owing to their loss of the masculine–feminine distinction).
