The ballad used in the Faroe Islands is called Herr Sinklar, it is in Danish language but is pronounced in a special Faroese way called Gøtudanskt, which sounds more like Norwegian.〔(Herr Sinklar sung and danced by Havnar Dansifelag in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands (on Youtube) )〕〔(Herr Sinklar sung by people from the island of Nólsoy )〕 In Norway, his name is often rendered ''Sinklar''.
