The Norman Language is a Romance language that evolved from Latin, primarily spoken in the region of Normandy in northern France. It developed after the Viking settlement in the area during the 9th and 10th centuries, incorporating elements from Old Norse and Old French. Historically, the Norman Language played a significant role in the cultural and political landscape of medieval Europe, especially after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It influenced the development of the English language, contributing many words and phrases that are still in use today.
