Languages change. It would be impossible for a language not to change at least a bit in a period of over a thousand years. However, if there was _little_ change, English in that scenario would sound more like modern Icelandic, with the two possibly being mutually intelligible.

less fr*nch

Because Old English was before the Frenchies poisoned our language after the Norman conquest

Englisc is betere

because modern english is a bastard child of german, latin, greek, and french, while old english is only of german and celtic

Because of the intonation, and because the R is pronounced a tap/trill, and not a bunched “hard R” as in modern English

I’m not sure either why trespasses became the standard. Debts seems to be the more “accurate” translation from both the Greek and the Latin (debitas).

KJV was translated into Early Modern English, which Shakespeare also contributed to. Despite it was still being wildly understood, some of words, such as “thy” are obsolete now.

The more accurate term is "late modern" (~1700 or 1800s c to today) or "contemporary" (in living memory) English will be more accurate or precise

Old English sounds much closer to German than modern English. ☺

modern english SUX

That's because old english was fully germanic, also english and germanic descended from west germanic which later split off into Elbe Germanic (German branch) and West Sea Germanic (English and Frisian branch)

You didn't tried very much to speak in English 😋

Here's the Timeline of English: • Old English is the first "proper" English. Evolved from Proto-Germanic and spoken by the Anglo-Saxons in the British Isles. "Beowulf" is an example of a famous text in Old English • 1066, Norman Conquest, bringing French dialectal loans into the language. Naturally, the people would inherit French loans into the language, however it was mainly the nobility that would speak French. Noblemen below Nobility would inherit French vocab. Lower noblemen would Naturally aspire to look higher class and would use French vocab. This would pass down the chain until the ordinary public would inherit French vocab. This is also why lower class livestock ("cow") comes from Germanic, but prepared food eaten by upper classes ("beef") comes from French. English begun to change into Middle English. "Canterbury Tales" is an example of a famous text in Middle English • Around the 1400s, English vowels begun to change in what is called "Great Vowel Shift"; nobody is sure why, but happens in every language. In addition, the Printing press came out and English was getting standardised. A century later, the Renaissance would occur and come to England, filling English with flourishing new vocab of different languages as well as new native words. Many authors of this period would influence English as we know it too. Slightly later, the Scientific revolution and Enlightenment would occur, having similar effect as the Renaissance. These factors combined would shift the language to Modern English, specifically Early Modern. Famous text in Early Modern English is... well Shakespeare. • Language Naturally changes over time, especially as the modern age creeps upon us. Hence English shifts into Late Modern English. LM English begins around 1700s or 1800s, famous texts include Charles Dickens. • Some linguists say we're still in Late Modern English. Others say we're in "Contemporary English" today. Some say Contemporary English is part of Late Modern, while others say it's the "third modern" after Early and Late Modern English. No matter which side you're on, Contemporary English (based on who you ask) begins around living memory (so post-WW2) and is influenced by a more connected world. So many new technologies and concepts that need new words. In addition, there's the Internet which connected the world and influenced Contemporary English. Not sure about famous texts, just pick your favourite one. I assume Harry Potter and Diary of a Wimpy Kid are famous texts in Contemporary English. Roald Dahl is like the bridge between Late Modern and Contemporary English.

British English sounds slightly decent, American English sounds HORRIBLE, a parody of a language. And no, I'm not joking.

@@wintherr3527 Fr I like British English way better

You can just listen to Middle English to find out.
