What English sounds like to people who don’t speak it

[waithuhShae]

All i heard was “Table, upon them all, canopy” 💀

[slidymctuesday]

Nice video but this is Middle English. You can clearly hear him say “a counterwoven drapery” right at the beginning. Drapery is from an old French term, indicating that this sentence was spoken after the merger of French and REAL old English, making it Middle English.

As an actual historian, may I just point out how horribly inaccurate this entire video is? The name of the video is, "Ancient English Sound" first of all, and then they claim this Middle English source to be Old English while showing a display of 18th century paintings, which is entirely non relevant to the speech nor the titles.
I can assure you that if you are trying to find Old English, very rarely would a modern English speaker be able to recognize a word, if any. If you want good Middle English, go read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. If you want good Old English, go read Beowulf. If you want 18th century paintings, go to an art gallery. But if you had convinced yourself they are all the same thing, go to school.

my brain understands it but also doesn’t.

[toddhowarddressedasatellyt]

Why did you put 18th century people in the video? At that point they spoke regular English

[parmaxolotl]

The guy at the beginning is looking at this video of 18th century English claiming to be "Old English" in confusion

Lyrics:
In the middle of the table, a counter-woven drapery is upon the wall that is (assumed or sealed) under a canopy. (Unintelligible for the rest man)

[ShrimpBugs]

It sound like a really strong Irish accent

[yavuzselimyldrm]

If it is not fake it's sound like combination of Dutch and Swedish

[aryankarki]

this isnt even old english, its middle english

[osirisygo]

Sounds like he’s saying something about a table in the beginning lol

[Bys_cniht]

This is NOT old English. This is 15th century English at the EARLIEST but much more likely much later. Probably 18th century

[Asher-Tzvi]

Old English was spoken from around 450 CE until 1150, so between the 5th-11th century. Middle English then replaced it from around 1150-1450: from the 11th to the mid 14th century. Your dates are wrong and the same is probably true for the “Old English” you’re using.

[omgIoIwtf]

So that’s what non native English speakers must hear when we speak. Was always hard to imagine, this is the closest example.

[rhondahoughtonCanada]

There was a table and a woven drapery on the wall. There sat a young g man under a canopy. That’s all I got.

[cxar]

Don't shoot me, please, esteemed mates from the NL, but to a foreign ear this Old English sounds a lot like Dutch. 😅

[frog-hw]

"In the middle of the table, uugoulüolpel drappary, upon the wall, that was assued caterpy, darasateęlî, vrra satæ come here, and simblaebe." Such an inspiring speak 🥲

[jdivanatsui]

They speak English if you turn on subtitles
