I don't know what Markland is.
But i know that the vikings were NOT interested in Vinland, then people in the USA would speak a north-germanic language.

The Norse were particularly interested in Markland and Vinland because these lands offered abundant Natural Resources, including timber and game, which were valuable commodities for their settlements in Greenland and Iceland. They were also motivated by exploration and trade opportunities in these new lands. Additionally, the Norse sagas and traditions may have played a role in generating interest and curiosity about these distant lands.
