Old Norse and Descended Languages

Old Norse was used by the inhabitants of Scandinavia and their overseas settlements during the Viking Age (793-1066 CE) and up to 1300 CE or so.

The term "Old Norse" refers to a group of languages/dialects: Old Icelandic, Old Norwegion, Old Swedish, Old Danish, and Old Gotnish.
It is often used as a synonym for Old Icelandic because most surviving Old Norse literature was written in Iceland.
