How far back in time could we go in the UK before we would start to be unable to understand the English of the day?
That's fascinating. What about if we go back even further, say to the time of the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th or 6th century?
Anglo-Saxon English, also known as Old English, is a completely different language from Modern English. It contains different grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Even the writing system is different, using the runic alphabet. It's unlikely that most modern speakers would understand much of anything in Old English without detailed study and a lot of practice.
