Norse language

Norse language, also called Old Norse, was the ancient language spoken by Scandinavian people, including Vikings, from around the 8th to 14th centuries. It is a North Germanic language, related to modern Scandinavian languages like Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish. Old Norse influenced many place names, sagas, and literary works that provide insights into Viking culture and mythology. The language consisted of complex grammar and vocabulary, and its legacy remains in the linguistic roots and cultural heritage of northern Europe today.
