Move
Moved because links on Ting point to the native names, for example folketing, Løgting and others. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 14:59, 2004 Jun 22 (UTC)
Shouldn't we use the English name? WhisperToMe 09:35, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

But there is no (established) English word for folketing - 'folkthing' would be natural, but the OED does not list it. Althing has existed since the late nineteenth century (and isn't it closer to the Old Norse?).
This also appears to be Wikipedia policy, as I read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). Comments? Septentrionalis 22:30, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
