The roots of the Swedish language can be traced back to Old Norse, which was spoken by the Vikings during the Viking Age. Over time, Old Norse evolved into Old Swedish, which eventually developed into the modern Swedish language we know today. Swedish is part of the North Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family.
