If you had a time machine, how far back could you go and still understand English?
AT what point in history would you not be able to understand the English language?
If you went back in time to the 1800's and 1700's, you'd probably still be okay.
This except is from the book 'Robinson Crusoe', in 1719:
"I, poor miserable Robinson Crusoe,
being shipwrecked during a dreadful storm in the offing,
came on shore on this dismal, unfortunate island,
which I called “The Island of Despair”
That's fairly easy to understand, but you might struggle with old slang words like 'batty fang' and 'kickerapoo'.
batty fang - a beating
kickerapoo - dead
land pirates - highway robbers
gutfoundered - very hungry
whapper - a big lie
Nitsqueeger - Hairdresser
Xantippe - an ill tempered wife
Abbess - a nun
Thornback - a spinster
Barber-monger - a vain man
Bleater - someone who complains a lot
Brabble - to quarrel loudly
Crapulous - the feeling of being too full
Hugger-mugger - secretly
Lettice-cap - a medical device like a hair net
Pigarlik - a bald head
Petty fogger - a dodgy lawyer
Mumpsimus - the act of sticking to old mistaken beliefs about language and customs simply out of habit
And now, your 'birthday suit' actually is a suit that you wear on your birthday.
The 1600s is the time of Shakespeare.
"Thy natural magic and dire property,
On wholesome life usurp immediately."
Here, Lucianus talking about the natural magic of poison. and how using it to kill the king will usurp the throne.
Trickier to follow, but not everyone spoke like that. You would hear lots of words you didn't understand though.
The bigger problem for you now is the pronunciation. The sound of the vowels has changed, and the accent is becoming much harder to understand.
For example, "tea" is pronounced "tay", and "gone" is pronounced "goan".
In the 1500s people essentially speak like the Bible.
"Now therefore thus saith the Lord,
Thou shalt not come down
from that bed on which thou
art gone up, but shalt surely die."
KJV 2 Kings 1:4
There are also hundreds of words that don't mean a thing to you.
Before about 1400 AD, you'd hear Middle English, and you would hardly understand anything, written or spoken.
"Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;"
The Canterbury Tales, 1389
If you went all the way back to one 1000 AD, you'd hear Old English:
Lord's Prayer
Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum;
Si þin nama gehalgod
to becume þin rice
gewurþe ðin willa
on eorðan swa swa
on heofonum.
Good luck explaining that you need 'one point twenty-one Jigawatts' to get home!

I had to go and buy a cassette tape player (not an easy task) and then the tape was janky so it is what it is.

This E-Lecture discusses the period of Middle English (1100 to 1500) with its main phases: from its decline after the Norman conquest to its re-birth in the 13th and its eventual triumph in the 15th century. Thus, the E-Lecture is not only linguistically oriented but it includes the main socio-cultural events as well as the main literary achievements of that time. It is meant as a general overview of the most important facts and figures of the Middle English era.

Middle English is the period in the history of the English language between the High and Late Middle Ages, or roughly during the four centuries between the late 11th and the late 15th century.
Middle English developed out of Late Old English in Norman England (1066–1154) and was spoken throughout the Plantagenet era (1154–1485). The Middle English period ended at about 1470, when the Chancery Standard, a form of London-based English, began to become widespread, a process aided by the introduction of the printing press to England by William Caxton in the late 1470s. By that time the variant of the Northumbrian dialect (prevalent in Northern England) spoken in southeast Scotland was developing into the Scots language. The language of England as used after 1470 and up to 1650 is known as Early Modern English.
Unlike Old English, which tended largely to adopt Late West Saxon scribal conventions in the period immediately before the Norman conquest of England, written Middle English displays a wide variety of scribal (and presumably dialectal) forms. This diversity suggests the gradual end of the role of Wessex as a focal point and trend-setter for writers and scribes, the emergence of more distinct local scribal styles and written dialects, and a general pattern of transition of activity over the centuries that followed, as Northumbria, East Anglia, and London successively emerged as major centres of literature, each with their own particular interests.

If you had a time machine, how far back could you go and still understand English?
AT what point in history would you not be able to understand the English language?
If you went back in time to the 1800's and 1700's, you'd probably still be okay.
This except is from the book 'Robinson Crusoe', in 1719:
"I, poor miserable Robinson Crusoe,
being shipwrecked during a dreadful storm in the offing,
came on shore on this dismal, unfortunate island,
which I called “The Island of Despair”
That's fairly easy to understand, but you might struggle with old slang words like 'batty fang' and 'kickerapoo'.
batty fang - a beating
kickerapoo - dead
land pirates - highway robbers
gutfoundered - very hungry
whapper - a big lie
Nitsqueeger - Hairdresser
Xantippe - an ill tempered wife
Abbess - a nun
Thornback - a spinster
Barber-monger - a vain man
Bleater - someone who complains a lot
Brabble - to quarrel loudly
Crapulous - the feeling of being too full
Hugger-mugger - secretly
Lettice-cap - a medical device like a hair net
Pigarlik - a bald head
Petty fogger - a dodgy lawyer
Mumpsimus - the act of sticking to old mistaken beliefs about language and customs simply out of habit
And now, your 'birthday suit' actually is a suit that you wear on your birthday.
The 1600s is the time of Shakespeare.
"Thy natural magic and dire property,
On wholesome life usurp immediately."
Here, Lucianus talking about the natural magic of poison. and how using it to kill the king will usurp the throne.
Trickier to follow, but not everyone spoke like that. You would hear lots of words you didn't understand though.
The bigger problem for you now is the pronunciation. The sound of the vowels has changed, and the accent is becoming much harder to understand.
For example, "tea" is pronounced "tay", and "gone" is pronounced "goan".
In the 1500s people essentially speak like the Bible.
"Now therefore thus saith the Lord,
Thou shalt not come down
from that bed on which thou
art gone up, but shalt surely die."
KJV 2 Kings 1:4
There are also hundreds of words that don't mean a thing to you.
Before about 1400 AD, you'd hear Middle English, and you would hardly understand anything, written or spoken.
"Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;"
The Canterbury Tales, 1389
If you went all the way back to one 1000 AD, you'd hear Old English:
Lord's Prayer
Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum;
Si þin nama gehalgod
to becume þin rice
gewurþe ðin willa
on eorðan swa swa
on heofonum.
Good luck explaining that you need 'one point twenty-one Jigawatts' to get home!

A fourteenth-century poem in Middle English from the manuscript British Library, Harley 913 - sometimes called an 'adult lullaby'.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, whi wepistou so sore?
Nedis mostou wepe, hit was iyarkid the yore
Euer to lib in sorow, and sich and mourne euere,
As thin eldren did er this while hi aliues wore.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, child, lolai, lullow,
Into uncuth world icommen so ertow.
[Lullay, lullay, little child, why do you weep so sadly? By necessity must you weep: it was prepared for you long ago, that you should ever live in sorrow, and sigh and mourn ever, as your elders did before now, while they were alive. Lullay, lullay, little child, child lullay, lullow; you have come into an alien world.]
Bestis and thos foules, the fisses in the flode,
And euch schef aliues imakid of bone and blode,
Whan hi commith to the world hi doth hamsilf sum gode,
Al bot the wrech brol that is of Adamis blode.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, to kar ertou bemette;
Thou nost noght this worldis wild before the is isette.
[Animals and birds, fishes in the water, and every living creature made of bone and blood - when they come into the world, they do themselves some good, all except the poor wretch who is of Adam's blood. Lullay, lullay, little child, you are destined to sorrow: you do not know that the world's wilds lie before you!]
Child, if betidith that thou shalt thriue and the,
Thench thou were ifostred up thi moder kne.
Euer hab mund in thi hert of thos thinges thre:
Whan thou commist, what thou art and what ssal com of the.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, child, lollai, lollai,
With sorow thou com into this world, with sorow shalt wend awai.
[Child, if it should happen that you should grow and thrive, remember that you were brought up at your mother's knee. Always recall in your heart these three things: whence you came, what you are, and what shall become of you. Lullay, lullay, little child, child, lullay, lullow; with sorrow you came into the world, with sorrow you shall leave it.]
Ne tristou to this world, hit is thi ful vo.
The rich he makith pouer, the pore rich also;
Hit turneth wo to wel and ek wel to wo.
Ne trist no man to this world, whil hit turnith so.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, thi fote is in the whele:
Thou nost whoder turne to wo other wele.
[Do not trust to this world, it is entirely your enemy. It makes the rich poor, and the poor rich also; it turns woe to joy and also joy to woe. Let no man trust to this world, while it turns so! Lullay, lullay, little child, your foot is in the wheel; you do not know where it will turn, to woe or joy.]
Child, thou ert a pilgrim in wikidnis ibor,
Thou wandrest in this fals world, thou loke the bifor.
Deth shal com with a blast ute of a well dim horre
Adamis kin dun to cast, himsilf hath ido befor.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, so wo the worth Adam
In the lond of Paradis, throgh wikidnes of Satan.
[Child, you are a pilgrim born in wickedness, and you wander in this false world; look before you! Death will come suddenly with a blast 'out of a well dim horre', to cast down Adam's kin, as he has often done before. Lullay, lullay, little child, Adam made this woe for you, in the land of Paradise, through the wickedness of Satan.]
Child, thou nert a pilgrim bot an uncuthe gist,
Thi dawes beth itold, thi iurneis beth icast;
Whoder thou salt wend north or est,
Deth the sal betide with bitter bale in brest.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, this wo Adam the wroght,
Whan he of the appil ete and Eue hit him betacht.
[Child, you are not a pilgrim but an alien guest: your days are counted, your journeys are cast. Wherever you may go, to the north or east, death will come to you with bitter sorrow at your heart. Lullay, lullay, little child, Adam wrought this woe for you, when he ate the apple and Eve gave it to him.]
wn.com/Lullay, Little Child, Why Weepest Thou So Sore (Middle English Poem)
A fourteenth-century poem in Middle English from the manuscript British Library, Harley 913 - sometimes called an 'adult lullaby'.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, whi wepistou so sore?
Nedis mostou wepe, hit was iyarkid the yore
Euer to lib in sorow, and sich and mourne euere,
As thin eldren did er this while hi aliues wore.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, child, lolai, lullow,
Into uncuth world icommen so ertow.
[Lullay, lullay, little child, why do you weep so sadly? By necessity must you weep: it was prepared for you long ago, that you should ever live in sorrow, and sigh and mourn ever, as your elders did before now, while they were alive. Lullay, lullay, little child, child lullay, lullow; you have come into an alien world.]
Bestis and thos foules, the fisses in the flode,
And euch schef aliues imakid of bone and blode,
Whan hi commith to the world hi doth hamsilf sum gode,
Al bot the wrech brol that is of Adamis blode.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, to kar ertou bemette;
Thou nost noght this worldis wild before the is isette.
[Animals and birds, fishes in the water, and every living creature made of bone and blood - when they come into the world, they do themselves some good, all except the poor wretch who is of Adam's blood. Lullay, lullay, little child, you are destined to sorrow: you do not know that the world's wilds lie before you!]
Child, if betidith that thou shalt thriue and the,
Thench thou were ifostred up thi moder kne.
Euer hab mund in thi hert of thos thinges thre:
Whan thou commist, what thou art and what ssal com of the.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, child, lollai, lollai,
With sorow thou com into this world, with sorow shalt wend awai.
[Child, if it should happen that you should grow and thrive, remember that you were brought up at your mother's knee. Always recall in your heart these three things: whence you came, what you are, and what shall become of you. Lullay, lullay, little child, child, lullay, lullow; with sorrow you came into the world, with sorrow you shall leave it.]
Ne tristou to this world, hit is thi ful vo.
The rich he makith pouer, the pore rich also;
Hit turneth wo to wel and ek wel to wo.
Ne trist no man to this world, whil hit turnith so.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, thi fote is in the whele:
Thou nost whoder turne to wo other wele.
[Do not trust to this world, it is entirely your enemy. It makes the rich poor, and the poor rich also; it turns woe to joy and also joy to woe. Let no man trust to this world, while it turns so! Lullay, lullay, little child, your foot is in the wheel; you do not know where it will turn, to woe or joy.]
Child, thou ert a pilgrim in wikidnis ibor,
Thou wandrest in this fals world, thou loke the bifor.
Deth shal com with a blast ute of a well dim horre
Adamis kin dun to cast, himsilf hath ido befor.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, so wo the worth Adam
In the lond of Paradis, throgh wikidnes of Satan.
[Child, you are a pilgrim born in wickedness, and you wander in this false world; look before you! Death will come suddenly with a blast 'out of a well dim horre', to cast down Adam's kin, as he has often done before. Lullay, lullay, little child, Adam made this woe for you, in the land of Paradise, through the wickedness of Satan.]
Child, thou nert a pilgrim bot an uncuthe gist,
Thi dawes beth itold, thi iurneis beth icast;
Whoder thou salt wend north or est,
Deth the sal betide with bitter bale in brest.
Lollai, lollai, litil child, this wo Adam the wroght,

[Child, you are not a pilgrim but an alien guest: your days are counted, your journeys are cast. Wherever you may go, to the north or east, death will come to you with bitter sorrow at your heart. Lullay, lullay, little child, Adam wrought this woe for you, when he ate the apple and Eve gave it to him.]
