The continuation and isolation of these dialects eventually leads to the evolution of an entirely new language that is unintelligible to outside communities. Standardization of English will prevent the extinction of the language, but not hinder the development of the dialects.

    That is true, however, English had proved that there are always people willing to learn. Betty Birner, a member of the Linguistic Society of America made a comment about famous works that are written in old English, “Chaucer's Canterbury Tales are very tough sledding, and if you went back another 500 years to try to read Beowulf, it would be like reading a different language (Birner, “Is English Changing?”).” This proves not only “2000 languages” around the world are dying, the most common language spoken today is too, is changing (Tesch, “Why Do Language Die?”). In a few decades, “the ‘th’ sound” in English “will be replaced with an ‘f’ ‘d’ or ‘v’, meaning ‘mother’ will change to ‘muvver’ and ‘thick’ will transform into ‘fick’ (Metro, "The Painfully Slow Death of the Regional Accent.").” Now in America, there would not be anyone speaking like Chaucer in their everyday life, but his works are all around us during English and Theater classes, on the television, and so on.…

    The "literary intercourse" that followed from the intertwining of these different languages evolved through out the middle ages. It is apparent when you read something from the Anglo-Saxon period, such as The Lord 's Prayer or even Beowulf, and compare it to the more difficult late Middle English Literature such as Sir Gawain and The Green Knight. The two literary works are tremendously different in composition, yet the comparison reveals that Old English is the truly the foundation of Middle and Modern English. Several factors influenced a change in the culture of the medieval era.…

    To be honest I was never a good public speaker there are times I avoid public speaking there are certain fears I had such as tongue tied, forgetting my lines, the awkward silence when I try to make a joke or point and by being myself blurting out words like "stuff" or "shit" unconsciously.

    During the 14th Century the English language was mainly spoken by the uneducated lower classes and the language began to see some of the grammatical complexities and inflections gradually disappear. The many genders that were used for nouns had almost entirely vanished. Adjectives that once had as many as eleven different inflections were reduced to just two used for singular and plural. However, in modern English today adjectives will often perform just one. Also pronunciation stresses gradually shifted toward the beginning of words instead, of on the lexical root as in Old English.…
