How far back in time can you understand English?

An experiment in language change

Nifty little language game here.

I can read back to 1500 with basically no difficulty

at 1400 I have to read slowly and carefully, but I can understand all of it save a couple words

at 1300 I can still comprehend most of it if I read slowly, but a much larger percentage of the words are unfamiliar to me, even with context

1200 and earlier are almost totally unintelligible

couple years ago i made a post listing a bunch of silly joke political ideologies and one of them was like "queer sex positive feudalism" and i was blissfully unaware that this basically describes the setting of vast swathes of the modern fantasy genre. Stop That

[jewishtransdyke]

Quite a lot of actual historical feudal aristocrats were queer, and they were just as terrible and oppressive as the straight ones.

[fozmeadows]

yeah man it's almost like that's something queer fantasy writers might want to explore for a reason

[txttletale]

1. not a man!

2. reading my post explains my post

3. explore something more interesting
