Anglo-Norman language

Anglo-Norman is a variety of the Norman French language that was spoken and written in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It became the language of the English court, law, and nobility during the medieval period, influencing the development of Middle English. While it shares roots with Old French, Anglo-Norman incorporated elements specific to England, creating a unique dialect. Its use diminished after the 14th century as English regained prominence, but it left a lasting impact on English vocabulary and legal terminology, particularly in law, governance, and culture.
