In practice, it generally means that Swedish is taught (on some more specialised ones maybe Norwegian and Danish), while the others might get an honorable mention. The only universities outside the Faroes that actually have some Faroese taught is the university of Basel (or it has had) and a Belgradian one (not sure which one though).
