In the middle of the 9th century Vikings from Western Norway settled the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland, bringing their Old Norse language with them. While the other Norse settlers in the British Isles started speaking the language of the peoples around them, in the Isles the Old Norse language lingered and developed into Norn, surviving into the 19th Century. • Fund My Windmills (Patreon): • / historywithhilbert • Join in with the banter on Twitter: • / historywhilbert • Enter the Fray on Facebook: • / historywhilbert • Music Used: • Living Voyage - Kevin MacLeod • Suonatore Di Liutto - Kevin MacLeod • Teller of Tales - Kevin MacLeod • Þonne Hēo Besīehþ on Mīnum Ēagan - Cefin Beorn • Easy Jam - Kevin MacLeod • Heroes - CO.AG: • • Peaceful Ambient Background Music - ... • Feral Dub - Kevin MacLeod • Drums of the Deep - Kevin MacLeod • Send me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration!
