Because Norman was spoken primarily by the elites and nobles, while the lower classes continued speaking Anglo-Saxon, the main influence of Norman was the introduction of a wide range of loanwords related to politics, legislation and prestigious social domains.
Como o normando era falado principalmente polas elites e os nobres, mentres que as clases baixas continuaron falando anglosaxón, a influencia do normando consistiu na introdución dun gran número de préstamos relacionados coa política, coa lexislación e os dominios sociais de prestixio.
