What Happened When The Norwegian Viking Leiv Erikson Entered America ?

I research in words and need a dictionary. I will order one later today. American language is very simmilar to English and England is not far away from Norway, and the Vikings went over there to trade and on expedition. It is saied that the famous iceland horse on iceland really is Norwegian and British. The horse has been used of Vikings and is popular even today. But i stay on the language. I come from a litle community with four islands making one county. It is connected to the main land by sub sea tunnels. The weird part here in this part of Norway is that it is very easy for us to learn american and english. It is even easy to learn french and spanish. But i stay to the american language for a while. Because many norwegians have gone over there during the centuries. Leiv Erikson was the first one to discover america in the 1000 century and was 500 years before Christopher Columbus. I have some more words for today, and some is simmilar. Not the same but very much alike the prononciating in american :
radish = reddik in Norwegian
banana = Banan in Norwegian
potato = potet in Norwegian
ski = ski in Norwegian is saied " she "
nut= nøtt on Norwegian
They = In our dialect " dej " 
Sun = Sol in Norwegian
Storm = Storm, just the same
Fase= Fase, the same
Rest = Rest in Norwegian means " what is left over. "
Was = in our dialect " Vås " and in our dialect it means nonsense.
Apple = Eple, nearly the same
Like = Like in Norwegian means equal.
Arm = Arm, means the same
Bad = Bad in Norwegian is something funny, because in Norway it means bathroom.
No = In our dialect we say " No " and it means now. 

That was the words for today. And i will go through a dictionary and look at the english language also. It is fun to see how it all is kept together with simmilar and just the same words. Have a good day, and maybe you from USA have a bit of Norwegian in you, you never know. Many Norwegians travelling over to the States changed name. It is fun to do some research in history.
