01:00 - I am from Orkney. There was a native Celtic population in Orkney and Shetland. The Picts were there prior to the Norse settlement. A lot of our dialect still has Norn remnants in it.
@ehalverson9323
A pidgin of Ojibwe, Norn, Gaelic, Orcadian Scots, Seaulteaux, and Cree existed until still some remnants of the pidgin today when we talk slang.
@ZadenZane
Someone told me that Norn was mutually intelligible with Faroese. I'm surprised there isn't a move to reinstate it to Orkney and Shetland just like they're doing with Manx in the Isle of Man.

@ethem8284
hearing someone call the isle of man just man is so weird lol
@DrSoftman
”Norn” literally translates to “witch”
@adelemarieish
From Orkney. We still spake, Norn the day, at least the language folk say.
@Dorgpoop
When I visited Shetland we spoke to a few old crofters and their dialect was so thick it sounded like Icelandic. With younger generations it sounds a lot more Scottish, but the shetlanders still use plenty of vocabulary derived from old Norse.
@revinhatol
Apparently, the Norn language would have gotten a revival lately.
@johnniusrex5310
Norn legacy lives on in Shetlandic dialect of Scots
@TheBurninghedge
I’m from England I was lost when u referred to a place called “Mann”. Eventually I figured it out lol. It’s never ever been heard by my ears as anything other than “The Isle of Man” or in my accent “ ire la man”(sic) 😂
@freyjasvansdottir9904
Just for context the language was of course not called old Norse at he time (1000ad) but Norrǫna, which in the following 450 years in isolation on the Orkney and Shetland islands dropped the ǫ and a and just because Norn which incidentally also was the name of the three fates from Nordic mythology: Urðr, Verðandi & Skuld or Past, Present and Future roughly translated
@j.lietka9406
So was the Norse or Viking tongue spoken by the "Natives" as portrayed in the movie "The 13th Warrior" accurate? Thank you
@Hauke4763
1:04 "Shet land" XD
@scottbills6611
Gaelic in Lewis has a Norwegian accent.
@peterb_nonumbers
"Hollywood" has completely destroyed the history of Vikings. Why do Americans always insist that they are from Norway? You always have to have mountains al around them, even though, the flatter areas would have been much more populated. Norse does not mean Norwegian.
@Philc854
Isle of Man is NOT part of England. It's not even in the UK. It has its own laws, taxes and its own parliament known as the Tynwald. The Isle of Man is is a self-governing British Crown Dependency, with only defence and foreign affairs are handled by the government in London. Please make sure your facts are correct.
@chalphon4907
Norway wasn't a country back then so saying that the islands were a part of the kingdom of Norway isn't really true.
