Greenlandic Norse is an extinct North Germanic dialect that was spoken in the Norse settlements of Greenland until their demise in the late 15th century. The language is attested through some 80 runic inscriptions many of which are difficult to date and not all of which were necessarily carved by people born in Greenland.It is difficult to identify specifically Greenlandic linguistic features in the limited runic material.
