Description

I interview a speaker of Middle English. He speaks the London dialect from around 1400. This is what English sounded like before the Great Vowel Shift and before a lot of Latinate vocabulary entered the language during the Renaissance. It's based the English of Chaucer with a few embellishments of my own.
