Norman language

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard people speaking in a different language than you? Well, the Norman language is just like that! It's a language that people in a place called Normandy in France used to speak a long time ago.

Now, why did they speak a different language? It's because a long, long time ago, some people from a country called Denmark went to Normandy and started to live there. They brought their own language with them, which was called Old Norse. Over time, the people who lived there started to mix their own language with Old Norse until a new language was created. And that language was called the Norman language.

The Norman language was very different from the language that people spoke in the rest of France, which was called Old French. But over time, the Norman language started to influence Old French, and they mixed together to create a new language called Middle French.

Even though the Norman language is not spoken anymore, it still had a big impact on the English language. When the Normans conquered England in 1066, they spoke Norman French, so this language also influenced English. That's why some words in English, like "royal" and "castle," have a Norman French origin.

So, to summarize it all, the Norman language was a language spoken in Normandy a long time ago. It mixed with Old French to create Middle French and had a big impact on the English language.
