Talk:Vinland (The Unexpected Kingdom)

These guys should definitely not be English-speakers, but rather speak Norwegian or Icelandic. Or, Vinnish, which is basically Icelandic with heavy influence from Inuit languages and languages of north-American indians.

During the 100 years – about four generations – that Vinland was part of English empire, English did achieve the position as prestige language, but the main language among the populace remained by far Vinnish. This was only natural, as only the small elite was English-speaking. In other words, it's basically the same that happened in Latvia, Finland and Estonia during the many centuries of German (LV & EE) and Swedish (FI) rule.
