'''Old Norse''' was the language spoken in the [[Nordic]] countries and in areas settled by the [[Vikings]] between c. AD 800 and AD 1300. In its written form it is remarkably similar to modern [[Icelandic]]. It survives today in southern areas of [[Greenland]] as a ceremonial language and has similar status to that of [[Latin]] in the Catholic church.
