Viking French? | What was the Norman Language?
In 911 AD a Viking chief named Rollo (Old Norse Hrólfr) was given as a fief the territory of Normandy in the North of France, the then Western Frankish Kingdom. 155 years later his descendant William would become a king in England starting the Norman Era and leaving a legacy that would shape British and world history. But in terms of those first Scandinavians that came to Northern France in the 10th Century, what language did they speak and how did this influence the development of Modern English that is spoken throughout the world today?

The Normans (Norman: Normaunds; French: Normands; Latin: Nortmanni/Normanni) were a population arising in the medieval Duchy of Normandy from the intermingling between Norse Viking settlers and indigenous West Franks and Gallo-Romans.[1][2][3] The term is also used to denote emigrants from the duchy who conquered other territories such as England and Sicily. The Norse settlements in West Francia followed a series of raids on the French northern coast mainly from Denmark, although some also sailed from Norway ...

How the Normans changed the history of Europe - Mark Robinson

View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-the-normans-changed-the-history-of-europe-mark-robinson
In the year 1066, 7,000 Norman infantry and knights sailed in warships across the English Channel. Their target: England, home to more than a million people. Around the same period of time, other groups of Normans were setting forth all across Europe. Who were these warriors, and how did they leave their mark so far and wide? Mark Robinson shares a brief history of the Normans.

Jèrriais (a dialect of Norman French) speaker in Jersey, interviewed in French
When I visited Jersey, in the Channel Islands ( les îles anglo-normandes), I was keen to learn more about the language of my ancestors, Jèrriais ( a dialect of Norman French). I was chatting in English with distant cousin, Rozelle, and when she said she could speak Jèrriais I suggested: "Let's try something experimental.. Could I interview you in French and you could reply in Jèrriais? " We agreed it would be fascinating to see how much we understood of each other. I certainly didn't understand absolutely everything Rozelle said but it was reassuring to realise I got the gist of what she was saying. One day I will transcribe in French what she actually says.
She recalls how life was in Jersey when she was a young girl, how she went to school, what she did after the war and speaking Jè...

Why You Swear in Anglo-Saxon and Order Fancy Food in French: Registers
http://tomscott.com - @tomscott - Why is an "odour" classier than a "smell"? Why is a "beverage" fancier than a "drink"? The answer lies in English history - and in the way we automatically know which 'register' of language to use. (Includes bonus medieval advice for constipation!)

When Did English Kings Stop Speaking French?
After the Norman Conquest of 1066 and the installation of William, Duke of Normandy's dynasty as the new kings of England, for the first time in the history of the united kingdom its rulers no longer spoke English. Instead they spoke Norman French, a Romance language that left its mark on Modern English in the form of new vocabulary like pork, beef, castle, captain, forest. But in the new Netflix film "The King", Henry V is shown to be speaking English; and without a French accent. Is this accurate? In this video I take a look at when the kings of England stopped speaking French and started speaking English.

The Normans (Norman: Normaunds; French: Normands; Latin: Nortmanni/Normanni) were a population arising in the medieval Duchy of Normandy from the intermingling between Norse Viking settlers and indigenous West Franks and Gallo-Romans.[1][2][3] The term is also used to denote emigrants from the duchy who conquered other territories such as England and Sicily. The Norse settlements in West Francia followed a series of raids on the French northern coast mainly from Denmark, although some also sailed from Norway and Sweden. These settlements were finally legitimized when Rollo, a Scandinavian Viking leader, agreed to swear fealty to King Charles III of West Francia following the siege of Chartres in 911.[4] The intermingling in Normandy produced an ethnic and cultural "Norman" identity in the first half of the 10th century, an identity which continued to evolve over the centuries.[5]
The Norman dynasty had a major political, cultural and military impact on medieval Europe and the Near East.[6][7] The Normans were historically famed for their martial spirit and eventually for their Catholic piety, becoming exponents of the Catholic orthodoxy of the Romance community.[4] The original Norse settlers adopted the Gallo-Romance language of the Frankish land they settled, with their Old Norman dialect becoming known as Norman, Normaund or Norman French, an important literary language which is still spoken today in parts of mainland Normandy (Cotentinais and Cauchois dialects) and the nearby Channel Islands (Jèrriais and Guernésiais). The Duchy of Normandy, which arose from the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, was a great fief of medieval France. The Norman dukes exercised independent control of their holdings in Normandy, while at the same time being vassals owing fealty to the King of France, and under Richard I of Normandy (byname "Richard sans Peur" meaning "Richard the Fearless") the Duchy was forged into a cohesive and formidable principality in feudal tenure.[8][9] By the end of his reign in 996, the descendants of the Norse settlers "had become not only Christians but in all essentials Frenchmen. They had adopted the French language, French legal ideas, and French social customs, and had practically merged with the Frankish or Gallic population among whom they lived".[10] Between 1066 and 1204, as a result of the Norman conquest of England, most of the kings of England were also dukes of Normandy. In 1204, Philip II of France seized mainland Normandy by force of arms, having earlier declared the Duchy of Normandy to be forfeit to him. It remained a disputed territory until the Treaty of Paris of 1259, when the English sovereign ceded his claim to the Duchy, except for the Channel Islands. In the present day, the Channel Islands (the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey) are considered to be officially the last remnants of the Duchy of Normandy, and are not part of the United Kingdom but are instead self-governing Crown Dependencies.[11][12]
The Normans are noted both for their culture, such as their unique Romanesque architecture and musical traditions, and for their significant military accomplishments and innovations. Norman adventurers played a role in founding the Kingdom of Sicily under Roger II after briefly conquering southern Italy and Malta from the Saracens and Byzantines, and an expedition on behalf of their duke, William the Conqueror, led to the Norman conquest of England at the historic Battle of Hastings in 1066.[13] Norman and Anglo-Norman forces contributed to the Iberian Reconquista from the early eleventh to the mid-thirteenth centuries.[14]
Norman cultural and military influence spread from these new European centres to the Crusader states of the Near East, where their prince Bohemond I founded the Principality of Antioch in the Levant, to Scotland and Wales in Great Britain, to Ireland, and to the coasts of north Africa and the Canary Islands. The legacy of the Normans persists today through the regional languages and dialects of France, England, Spain, Quebec and Sicily, and also through the various cultural, judicial, and political arrangements they introduced in their conquered territories.[7][15]
Etymology
The English name "Normans" comes from the French words Normans/Normanz, plural of Normant,[16] modern French normand, which is itself borrowed from Old Low Franconian Nortmann "Northman"[17] or directly from Old Norse Norðmaðr, Latinized variously as Nortmannus, Normannus, or Nordmannus (recorded in Medieval Latin, 9th century) to mean "Norseman, Viking".[18]

Guernésiais (Dgèrnésiais, Guernsey French / guernésiais, dgèrnésiais)
Native to: Guernsey
Native speakers: 200 (2014)
Language family: Indo-European (Romance)
is the variety of the Norman language spoken in Guernsey. It is sometimes known on the island simply as "patois". As one of the langues d'oïl, it has its roots in Latin, but has had strong influence from both Old Norse and English at different points in its history.
There is mutual intelligibility (with some difficulty) with Jèrriais speakers from Jersey and Continental Norman speakers from Normandy. Guernésiais most closely resembles the Norman dialect of Cotentinais spoken in La Hague in the Cotentin Peninsula of France.
Guernésiais has been influenced less by Standard French than Jèrriais, but conversely more so by English. New words have been imported for modern phenomena: e.g. le bike and le gas-cooker.
There is a rich tradition of poetry in the Guernsey language. Guernsey songs were inspired by the sea, by colourful figures of speech, by traditional folk-lore, as well as by the natural environment of the island. The island's greatest poet was George Métivier (1790–1881), a contemporary of Victor Hugo, who influenced and inspired local poets to print and publish their traditional poetry. Métivier blended local place-names, bird and animal names, traditional sayings and orally transmitted fragments of medieval poetry to create his Rimes Guernesiaises (1831). Denys Corbet (1826–1910) was considered the "Last Poet" of Guernsey French and published many poems

Guernésiais (Dgèrnésiais, Guernsey French / guernésiais, dgèrnésiais)
Native to: Guernsey
Native speakers: 200 (2014)
Language family: Indo-European (Romance)
is the variety of the Norman language spoken in Guernsey. It is sometimes known on the island simply as "patois". As one of the langues d'oïl, it has its roots in Latin, but has had strong influence from both Old Norse and English at different points in its history.
There is mutual intelligibility (with some difficulty) with Jèrriais speakers from Jersey and Continental Norman speakers from Normandy. Guernésiais most closely resembles the Norman dialect of Cotentinais spoken in La Hague in the Cotentin Peninsula of France.
Guernésiais has been influenced less by Standard French than Jèrriais, but conversely more so by English. New words have been imported for modern phenomena: e.g. le bike and le gas-cooker.

In the year 1066, 7,000 Norman infantry and knights sailed in warships across the English Channel. Their target: England, home to more than a million people. Around the same period of time, other groups of Normans were setting forth all across Europe. Who were these warriors, and how did they leave their mark so far and wide? Mark Robinson shares a brief history of the Normans.

Jèrriais (a dialect of Norman French) speaker in Jersey, interviewed in French

When I visited Jersey, in the Channel Islands ( les îles anglo-normandes), I was keen to learn more about the language of my ancestors, Jèrriais ( a dialect of Norman French). I was chatting in English with distant cousin, Rozelle, and when she said she could speak Jèrriais I suggested: "Let's try something experimental.. Could I interview you in French and you could reply in Jèrriais? " We agreed it would be fascinating to see how much we understood of each other. I certainly didn't understand absolutely everything Rozelle said but it was reassuring to realise I got the gist of what she was saying. One day I will transcribe in French what she actually says.
She recalls how life was in Jersey when she was a young girl, how she went to school, what she did after the war and speaking Jèrriais these days with older friends.
It makes sense that a French speaker can essentially understand Jèrriais, as it was Norman French people from around the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy, France who settled in Jersey nearly a thousand years ago. My ancestors would have spoken Norman French which morphed into this dialect of French for about 600 years. Just as all languages, dialects and accents evolve over the years that is exactly what has happened on this island between England and France. Isolated from mainland France, subject to a different lifestyle, I wonder if this 'French' is how it might have been spoken in rural northern France in the past. The use of the word 'septante' instead of 'soixante-dix' also occurs in French Canada. These words hark back to the France of yesteryear. Apparently the French spoken in the Gaspé area of Canada has many similarities with Jèrriais. This is of course because many Jersey families settled in the Eastern part of Canada in the 1800s.
Would love to know if French speakers can fully understand this clip? How similar is Jersey French to dialects of Norman French currently spoken in Normandy? It was interesting to note the use of words like 'diversement' and 'septante'. This conversation is unrehearsed and very natural but it is a good example of conversational Jèrriais.

When Did English Kings Stop Speaking French?

After the Norman Conquest of 1066 and the installation of William, Duke of Normandy's dynasty as the new kings of England, for the first time in the history of the united kingdom its rulers no longer spoke English. Instead they spoke Norman French, a Romance language that left its mark on Modern English in the form of new vocabulary like pork, beef, castle, captain, forest. But in the new Netflix film "The King", Henry V is shown to be speaking English; and without a French accent. Is this accurate? In this video I take a look at when the kings of England stopped speaking French and started speaking English.
