Anglo-Russians
Population - approx 4 mln
Language: Baltic English, a distant relative of Modern English
History: They are descendants of English settlers who settled around Novgorod after the Norman conquest of England The first wave arrived just after William's invasion (mostly nobles, clergymen, their families and households), an even larger one after Harrying of the North although longhips from Rus' continued to sail to England and pick up people for decades to come. They led campaign in the name of Novgorod to subjugate Estonia, Latvia and Finland and formed the elite in those places although a large number of them lives in Russia as well. Their language is descended directly from Old English without any Norman influence and is very conservative, mainly thanks to Anglo-Russians' high literacy rate throughout centuries and a drive to maintain their ancestral culture.
