Ærø or (Aeroe; [pronunciation guide: Æ: Egg; r: curd; ø: burn]) is a large island in Denmark, south of Funen. While the island has 6,000 permanent residents, it is a popular tourist destination during summer.

The official language, like the rest of Denmark, is Danish. English is also widely understood
