The Normans spoke Norman-French and this became the language of the court church and administration. Despite this, the Normans were relatively few in number, often intermarried with the English and the ordinary people continued to speak English. The language was greatly simplified in this period (and earlier from contact between Anglo-Saxons and Danes) from the original Anglo-Saxon until it re-emerged as a written language in the form of 'Middle-English' (eg. Chaucer). The loss of Norman lands in France also contributed to the gradual adoption of English.

Collective nouns are used to group two or more people or things in a descriptive way. The singular noun 'Norman' is not a group.However, if there are two or more 'Normans', a collective noun can be used. Since collective nouns are an informal part of language, any noun that suits the circumstances can function as a collective noun; for example, a pair of Normans, a duo of Normans, a trio of Normans, etc. Or, if you are speaking of France a thousand years ago, a horde of Normans.
