Norn is an extinct
North Germanic language that was spoken on
Shetland and
Orkney, off the north coast of mainland
Scotland, and in
Caithness. After the islands were returned to Scotland by Norway in the
15th century, it was gradually replaced by
Scots over time.It is not known exactly when Norn became extinct. The last reports of Norn speakers are claimed to be from the 19th century, but it is more likely that the language died out sometime during the 18th century at the latest. Fragments of vocabulary survived the death of the main language and remain to this day.
