ROFLMAO! You of all people know that the typical British accent is also out of place in past games!
That vowel shift was in the 1820s or 30s wasn’t it?

Between 1200 and 1600 actually, it was over quite a Long time period. Although language has changed considerably constantly throughout it's history.
Pretty much all of the accents in Rome and Medieval were innacurate, simply because nobody spoke then like they do now. It would be extremely difficult for a modern english speaker to understand an english speaker from a few hundred years ago.
For instance eggs. Eggs used to be known as eyren, and the word 'eggs' was completely unknown. And meat used to be a word used in general to apply to any kind of food. So not only does the accent change, but the words change meaning as well.
A good example is the word 'nice'. Nice used to mean 'not-knowing' or ignorant. Describing someone as nice would have been an insult a few hundred years ago.![]()

That is all true! And at the same time is when S became the plural form for most words…it was closer to German before. Ei (eye) is egg and Eir is eggs (the Germans droped y from most words and changed it to I at some time. )
But I’uz talken bout when ‘mericans an English started talken different. Them Arsh folk never did change too much en to only way to change a Scottsman is wiff a gun but them Englishmen shore did…started sayen stuff like toe-moto fer maders an daaunce fer dance. They plane sloughed the way a was pronounced an messed up a whole bunch more sounds in the offen…started sounden all hauty an such.
That thar hillbilly speech in Apilachian Americia is thought to be what Elizibathen English sounded like!

I hope they make the Swedish accent muppet style :p
Aweenda shmure da froog's legs! Bork, Bork, Bork!
Ah, she'll be right mate. Can't understand you yobbos when ya spinning a yarn anyway. Gimme a swag, some damper by the billabong.Poor Aussies. All us Europeans must sound the same to them. It would certainly explain some of the innacuracies in Med 2.
BTW, no offense to any Australian Orgahs. I really like the Australian accent, I would appreciate it in TW games if it weren't so out of place.
Maybe a nice shiela too.
I have heard that during the American Revolutionary War, that the Colonials Used Huzzah! While the British had moved on to the more modern Hurrah!
Anyone know if it is so? At any rate I know the Americans did use Huzzah!
