The Viking´s influence in the English Language I

Hi, eveybody !
Today I am going to talk about the Viking´s influence in the English language and other words like the name of cities and surnames.

Over 1800 words of definite or probable Scandinavian origin entered the language during this period,and are still to be found in present day standart English.Several thousand more continued to be used in regional dialets.

Among these are these are most of the words which use sk sounds-skirt,sky,whisk,etc.

The closeness of the contact between the Anglo Saxons and the Danish settlers during is clearly shown by the extensibe borrowings.Some of the commonest words in English came into the language at that time,such as both,same,get,give,and take.Three of the Old English personal pronoums were replaced by Scandinavian forms(they,them,their,).And the invading language even took over a form of the verb to be,the most widely used English verb-Are is of Scandinavian origin.
