The Anglo-Norman language is a term traditionally used to refer to the variety of Old Norman used in England and to some extent elsewhere in the British Isles during the Anglo-Norman period. When William the Conqueror led the Norman invasion of England, he, his nobles, and many of his followers from Normandy spoke an Oïl language called Norman. Others who came with him would have spoken varieties of the Picard language or western French.

  • The Anglo-Norman language is a term traditionally used to refer to the variety of Old Norman used in England and to some extent elsewhere in the British Isles during the Anglo-Norman period. When William the Conqueror led the Norman invasion of England, he, his nobles, and many of his followers from Normandy spoke an Oïl language called Norman. Others who came with him would have spoken varieties of the Picard language or western French. This amalgam developed into the unique insular dialect now known as Anglo-Norman, which was commonly used for administrative purposes from the 13th until the 15th century. It is difficult to know very much, of course, about what was actually spoken, and our knowledge is really only of the written language. Nevertheless it is clear that Anglo-Norman was to a large extent the spoken language of the Norman nobility and was also spoken in the law courts, schools, and universities. Private and commercial correspondence was written in Anglo-Norman from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century. Other social classes than just the nobility became keen to learn Anglo-Norman; manuscripts containing materials for instructing non-native speakers still exist, dating from the fourteenth century onwards. Although English survived and eventually eclipsed Anglo-Norman, the latter had been sufficiently widespread as to permanently affect English lexically. This is why English has lost many of its original Germanic words which can still be found in German and Dutch. Grammatically, Anglo-Norman had little lasting impact on English, although it is still evident in official and legal terms where the noun and adjective are reversed: attorney general, heir apparent, court martial, body politic, and so on.
  • Anglonormannisch (Romanz) ist die romanische Sprache, die die normannische Oberschicht nach der Eroberung Englands im Jahre 1066 aus Frankreich mitbrachte. Von der Sprache der Île-de-France war es von Anfang an verschieden. Nach dem Verlust der Normandie im frühen 13. Jahrhundert entfernte sich das Anglonormannische weiter vom festländischen Französisch, was z. B. in Geoffrey Chaucers Beschreibung der Prioresse im Prolog der Canterbury Tales zum Ausdruck kommt: And Frensh she spak ful faire and fetisly After the scole of Stratford atte Bowe For Frensh of Paris was to hire unknowe (124 – 126). Bis zum Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts blieb Anglonormannisch Sprache des englischen Hofs, der Verwaltung und Justiz. In der Literatur wurde es seit Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts vom Mittelenglischen abgelöst. Eine der populärsten anglonormannischen Schriftstellerinnen war Marie de France. Das normannisch geprägte Französisch wird heute noch auf den Kanalinseln gesprochen.

Questa lingua d'oïl divenne la lingua ufficiale dell'Inghilterra e nel tempo si trasformò in una vera e propria variante insulare del normanno nota come lingua anglo-normanna. L'anglo-normanno era la lingua parlata dalla nobiltà ed era anche utilizzata a corte, per redigere documenti ufficiali e per scopi commericali.

  • Англо-нормандский язык — исчезнувший романский язык, являвшийся родным языком для британской элиты, приближённой к англонормандской монархии, а также выступавший в роли основного рабочего языка всей Англии после её завоевания Вильгельмом Завоевателем, распространившись позднее также и в Ирландии (особенно в окрестностях Дублина). Как родной язык высших слоёв общества англо-нормандский начинает быстро угасать уже со второй половины XII века, однако в качестве рабочего языка деловой переписки и административно-торговых регистров он широко используется до конца XV в. и получает название англо-французский язык. Из-за относительной малочисленности своих носителей в Англии (не более 30 тыс. чел. или около 2% населения островов), англо-нормандский язык так и не смог вытеснить местные говоры германского происхождения, использовавшиеся в устной речи домашнего обихода среднего и низшего класса на протяжении всего вышеуказанного периода. Но он, тем не менее, оказал на них огромное влияние. При непосредственном участии англо-нормандского языка сложился современный английский язык, обогатившийся широкими пластами романской лексики.

Som framgår talades detta språk av den fransktalande normandiska överklassen. Anglonormandiskan har haft mycket stor betydelse för det engelska språkets ordfråd.
