The Vikings spoke a language called Old Norse. This language is extinct today, but has had a huge influence on everyday English. So as an English speaker, you are using plenty of Viking words every day.

Here are some examples of English words with Old Norse Origin:
Húsbóndi – Husband
Kalla – To call, or cry out for someone.
Uggligr – Ugly
