It's important to note that "Viking" isn't a language itself but rather a term used to describe the Scandinavian people who raided and traded across Europe from the 8th to 11th centuries.
Here's a bit more detail:
* Old Norse was the common language spoken by the Vikings in Scandinavia and their settlements abroad.
* Modern Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, and Faroese) are all descended from Old Norse.
* Old Norse was a North Germanic language, closely related to Old English and Old Frisian.
While we may not be able to hold a conversation with a Viking, we can still appreciate their fascinating history and culture through their language.
