Old Norse was the language spoken by Scandinavian Vikings on their raiding, trading and colonising missions to Britain and the islands around it. The North Germanic languages, those that developed from Old Norse, are those today found in Scandinavia, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, and Elfdalian, as well as the Insular North Germanic languages found on the Atlantic islands in the form of Icelandic and Faroese. Until around 1850 however, there was another Norse language spoken on the Scottish islands of Orkney and Shetland: the Norn language. Unfortunately the islanders switched to speaking Scots from the 18th century onwards, however there is now an effort underway to restore the earlier Norn language of the islands with a language revival attempt like that of Manx and Cornish, with the end goal the creation and proliferation of ‘Nynorn’ – new Norn.
