Talk:Kentish (Ethelred the Pious)

FWIW, Modern English (as in, the stuff of Shakespeare) didn't really exist until the 1500's. Prior it was "Hwan that April with its suresota, the druxt of Marche hath perced to the rota" and other such Chaucer types (which even _I_ have a hard time following, and I'm good with languages). And of course, prior to that was Old English, so, really, it's not that young of a language. Louisiannan 20:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
