Middle English is after the Norman invasion you fucking dork queer, it's just as difficult to understand for Continentals.

>Middle English is after the Norman invasion you fucking dork queer
I never implied it wasn't, but you clearly have reading comprehension issues. Probably very low IQ.
>it's just as difficult to understand for Continentals.
It is obviously more Germanic than Modern English, which is why I asked them in specific. Dear lord what a daft waste of oxygen you are.

As an ANGLO I must say I really like Middle English
The use of 'u' for 'v' is the only thing I'd change
Otherwise your sample text maybe isn't the best as when spoken it is virtually identical to modern English, barring some syntactic quirks and despite the spelling changes (with the exception of the use of 'he' as a kind of vestigial gender)

Good point. I believe Chaucer would probably be the best representation of the period language.
Brayden Sullivan
it's so cute and i really don't have an issue reading it either.
Eli Scott
Because the Dutch evolved to live in a swampy habitat like most amphibians
Elijah Williams
Wasn't English supposed to be closet to Dutch?
Ethan Lopez

Middle English had plenty of loanwords from Old French that have since been lost, some of which survive in the VERY Germanic dialects of Northern England and Scotland
Alexander Rodriguez

Seems almost like Scots. I very much like the use of the voiced/unvoiced th characters and wish they were still used
Adrian Moore

Fuck it, let's just bring back runes altogether just to flex on standardization.
