 The Danish name is not unexpected ; the language of the Ormulum , an East Midlands dialect , is stringently of the Danelaw ( Bennett and Smithers 1982 , pp. 174 – 75 ) . It includes numerous Old Norse phrases ( particularly doublets , where an English and Old Norse term are co @-@ joined ) , but there are very few Old French influences on Orm 's language ( Bennett 1986 , p . 33 ) . Another — likely previous — East Midlands work , the Peterborough Chronicle , shows a great deal of French influence . The linguistic contrast between it and the work of Orm demonstrates both the sluggishness of the Norman influence in the formerly Danish areas of England and the assimilation of Old Norse features into early Middle English ( Bennett 1986 , pp. 259 – 63 ) .

 The Aarhus Danish dialect , commonly called Aarhusiansk ( Lit . : Aarhusian ) , is a Jutlandic dialect ( Danish : Jysk ) in the Mid @-@ Eastern Jutland dialect area , traditionally spoken in and around Aarhus . Aarhusian , as most local dialects in Denmark , has diminished in use through the 20th century and most people today speak some version of Standard Danish with regional features although it still has a strong presence in older segments of the population and in areas with high numbers of immigrants .
