Comment from : @Patryk-t4v

American English has Indigenous Americans words mixed in it a lot, and since what we speak is forien to the original it is safe to say we don't speak English We just need to give it a new name

I don't think Shakespeare understands that English
Comment from : @phumelelasaliwa

The modern language already sounds as foreign to me as Chausser
Comment from : @dhawthorne1634

4:09 It's just a note, but some of those words in Spanish and French are misspelled In Spanish, they are "la protesta" and "el movimiento" and in French "l'appétit" and "la protestation" Anyway, good video!

Foreigners watching this and seeing an English comment section are having the same experience as me when I see a comment section of Spanish or Russian (etc) comments

Comment from : @Kawterrrrrrr

I almost used your video for a class Love the visuals! However, there are some inaccuracies First, be careful of your French and Spanish spellings! Second, it is not true that our American accents are closer to colonial (or older) English than modern British accents A better description is that NEITHER today's American NOR British accents sounded like colonial English This is a persistent myth (one that seems to be trying to override the persistent assumption that colonial people sounded like modern Brits -- in realty, these are BOTH myths!) On the Wikipedia page for American English ( enwikipediaorg/wiki/American_English#Phonology), you'll see that "conservative" (older) features are far outweighed by "innovative" (newer) features I think the origin of this myth is that ONE SIGNIFICANT FEATURE is shared by American English and colonial English that has been mostly lost in British English: rhoticity, or the full preservation of all R sounds

The slow speaking bugged me at first until I realized that was likely for people learning English and that’s actually so thoughtful

With spelling checkers, and AI helping with grammar, I wonder how much English will changebrI hear that a new language has been created, naturally, in Miami Florida called "Miami English" (How inventive a name)

I refreshed my English knowledge,brThank you sir
Comment from : @rajuchand636

The English language has evolved significantly over the centuries, with influences from Latin, Norse, and French shaping its development A bHistory Documentary/b on this subject would reveal how Old English, used by the Anglo-Saxons, transformed through waves of invasion and cultural shifts to become the Modern English we speak today

Guys skibidi is gonna be part of the change!!
Comment from : @imnotcarlos

You should compare the ratio of the length of the British southern (Channel) and eastern (North Sea) coast lines to the number of Latin roots in any English phrase Debes comparare rationem dimensionis meridionalis (Canalis) et orientalis (Maris Septemtrionalis) riparum Britannicarum versus numerum radicium latinorum in omna phrase Anglica

If you're going to give us Anglo-Saxon and Middle English passages, have the decency to provide translations so people can see the relationship to Modern English
Comment from : @CaitlynJneeCocke

What caused the “vowel shift?”
Comment from : @raspberrybriars

Words having to do with home life and things used everyday, days of the week, etc are from Germanic sources in the English language They are usually one syllable, or two Words having to do with intellectual concepts most often come from Latin or French in the English language They are often more than one syllable

On reaching Britain during the so-called 'Völkerwanderung", the Angles and the Saxons met Frisians in Friesland, which is now part of The Netherlands They had children there and continued to go to Britain That's why Frisian is the most-closely related to English

Comment from : @waluigihentailover6926

I wonder if the spread of the internet and globalisation will slow down the evolution of the English language Perhaps it will also become more standardised in all of the former colonies I cant imagine that in 300 years our current language will be incomprehensible because of the way everything is documented now

In a few hundred years I doubt any of us will be speaking any languages, but if there are any separate intelligent entities left, will probably be communicating in the quantum realm

It sounds like god was created to put all of the world's worries on him No need for accountability, no matter what you do your a precious loved child of God Not saying it's bad, but when you look at all the different beliefs and remove your own belief bias it all seems silly
Comment from : @stoner4311

5:54 the asterisk at the bottom is grammatically incorrect because you must have an * in the main body of the text, which references the footnote at the bottom of the page You cannot have just one star symbol without having one in the main body of the text

'Our language will sound just as foreign to future speakers' -- and that's why I don't like pointless change that merely speeds the process of our alienation and distance from the great works of the past Nor do I wish, as an author, to be incomprehensible to those that will come after me
