Old Norse was the
Germanic language spoken by the
Vikings.
Its modern descendants are
Icelandic,
Norwegian,
Swedish,
Danish and
Faroese, also the extinct [Norn language]
?, once spoken on the
Shetland Islands.
Of these, Icelandic has changed the least from Old Norse in the last thousand years.
Old Norse also had an influence on
English dialects, particularly
Scots which contains many Old Norse loan words.
