- The Danish language as spoken from the 12th to 15th centuries.
The history of the Danish language falls into three major periods: Old Danish (c. 800—c.1100), corresponding roughly to the Viking Age; Middle Danish (c.1100— c.1525), corresponding to the Middle Ages; and Modern Danish (after c.1525), the period after the Reformation and up to modern times.

Historically, the Danish language may be divided into three periods: Old Danish (c. 800–1100) spans the Viking Age, Middle Danish (c. 1100–1500) was the language of the late Middle Ages, and Modern Danish covers the time from around the Reformation (and the first translation of the Bible) to the present.
