Norse influence on English is profound. The Norse people founded many important British cities, such as Dublin and York, and a large part of Britain, called the Danelaw, was under Norse control for centuries. The pronoun "they" is Norse ( the Old English word for they was the same as the word for she). All the sk- words like skiff and skirt, having English cognates in sh- ( ship and shirt ) are Norse. Also the loss of declensional endings in English is attributed in part to Norse influence.
