From Old English to Modern American English in One Monologue

  This was fascinating, there was that one sentence around 900 but I’m fairly certain almost everyone who is a native English speaker will only pick up somewhere around 1400. Up until 1400-1500 it’s mostly like listening to something completely different. I wonder if in another ~800 years people will barely be able to understand our language?

  I got to 900, and got a sentence or two, then was completely lost until around 1500.
