Now you know what your pet feels like when you talk to them.

As an English speaker, hearing the Old English makes me feel like the foreigner trying to learn modern English for the first time

[QuietQuakerASMR]

Latin sounds like an Italian got drunk and a little high and just started shouting in the town square.

[DDNN-dbze]

old English : "rrr"
modern English :"uyh"

[SkieLoon]

This feels like walking through a dimly lit, super immersive museum wing with the speakers playing different languages as you walk passed each decorated display about the language being spoken.

As a native English speaker, I can only describe old English as sounding familiar, almost like you’re half asleep and listening to someone in a different room

Kudos to the person who sailed the seven sea to record this for us!

As a native speaker of Romance languages, Portuguese and Spanish, and having studied Latin at the University, I could understand the central point of the speech in Latin. He is delivering a celebrative speech about the concepts of liberty, the empire, and unity.

As a Greek I understood the context in ancient Greek not because it hasn't changed over the centuries but because they teach us to read and study ancient Greek in high school in Greece

all of these languages not only encompass a linguistic niche, but an entire society. people woke up every day in a time and place where each one of these languages came to them as effortlessly as thought. they spoke to their friends in this language. they fell in love with others who spoke it. they fought with nemeses and loved ones, and wrote poetry, sang songs, told stories and lies. to many people who came looong before us, one of these languages was their world. what would they think if they were thrown into this time, onto an older Earth, and realized that that world was gone?

As an arab speaker the phoenician is like someone making up a language without changing the accent.

Old English: "rerrr frtlrr refkde"

Modern English: Skibidi got gyatt dom yes yes

[AmberCommentsThings]

I won't lie, this sent chills down my spine. It's insane how English ~1000 years ago was basically a completely different language.

[acidmana]

Getting transmigrated into one of these eras would be a nightmare. I'd bawl my eyes out the moment they start speaking.

[egpqsdi]

As an Egyptian, I felt like I could understand ancient Egyptian but also the massages are like drawing because ancient Egyptian writing due to it contains only symbols and drawings.

[vfcnmrb]

As a native Russian speaker I actually understood about half of the old church slavonic which is awesome

[ericwilestech]

I’m Icelandic, I’m fluent in old Norse and it’s very cool to hear how far this has gone. Old Norse is close but not constructing sentences correctly but individual words are correctly pronounced.

crazy how probably in the next few centuries people gonna look back at us talking in the same confusion as we are while watching this rn

Я когда-то учила церковно-славянский. Темп речи должен быть в 1, 5 раза медленнее, чем в разговорной речи. Потрясающее видео! Представьте, друзья, сколько разных людей жили до нас со своими взглядами, мыслями и чувствами. У меня мурашки по телу, когда я думаю об этом

[kati-ana]

I love how the Ryukyuan language sounds, it's so delicate. But I also like the Old English.
