When Ibn Fahdlan and Melchisidek enter the tent at the beginning of the movie, Melchisidek speaks Greek, which eventually leads to a conversation with the viking Herger. Though Herger obviously understands Greek, he responds in Latin, which Melchisidek understands. In the 10th century, there was no official connection between Scandinavia and Byzantium. Though it's not explained how a Northman could understand both Latin and Greek, Herger could have learned the languages from taking part in the viking raids in modern-day Russia (where the first scenes are filmed), and south into what was then the Byzantine Empire. The dominant language of the realm was Greek, with Latin as a second language. The vikings made at least one attempt to conquer Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire.
