The Norman language, sometimes called Norman French, is a Romance language, that was influenced by Norse and Breton. It is one of the langues d'oïl, like the French language and the Walloon language. Jèrriais, Guernesiais, Sercquiais, and Auregnais, from the islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Sark and Alderney diverged from the Norman language after the English kings lost their Norman territories on the French mainland, in the 13th century.[1]
