Everything about Old Norman totally explained
Old Norman was one of many
langue d'oïl dialects. It was spoken throughout the region of what is now called
Normandy and spread into England, Southern Italy, Sicily, and the
Levant. It is the ancestor of modern
Norman, including the insular dialects (such as
Jèrriais), as well as
Anglo-Norman. Old Norman is often confused with
Old French, which is sometimes used to describe all
langue d'oïl dialects together.
Old Norman contained many Norse (and a few Celtic) loanwords unknown in Old French at that time.

Jersey-born poet
Wace are among the few records of Old Norman that remain.
