The Viking´s influence in the English Language II

Hi again!
So,I am going to continue talking about the Viking´s influence in language, this time giving examples of that influence for example in the name of some cities.

The result of this prolonged period of contact was a large number of Danish settlements with Scandinavian names. There are over 1,500 placeof Scandinavian origin in England, especially in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Over 600 places end in -by, the Danish word for farm or town-Derby,Grimsby,Rugby,etc.

Many of the remainder end in -thorp( vilage ), as in Althorp and Linthorpe. –thwaite ( an isolated area ),as in Braithwaite and Langtwaite ; or –toft ( a piece of ground ), as in Lowestoft and Nortoft. 

Also we can find some examples of Scandinvian surnames in England :

Many Scandinavian personal names (e.g. surnames ending in –son,such as Davidson and Henderson) are also found in these areas.

And now I am going to show you some more Scandinavian loanwords,some of them are very common in the daily use of English.

Words like: 

Scant, sky, skin, skirt, bask, kid,  guest, get, give run Thursday though, raise, weak, both, die, ill ,husband, bull ,leg, wing, gape, root, take, wrong,ugly, call, law .
  

Now with this examples you can see the importance that Vikings had and have in the English language, even today.
