THE EARLY MODERN ENGLISH

The Early Modern English
Early Modern English (sometimes abbreviated to EModE[1] or EMnE) is the stage of the English language used from the beginning of the Tudor period until the English Interregnum and Restoration, or from the transition from Middle English in the late 15th century to the transition to Modern English during the mid- to late 17th century.[2]

Prior to and following the accession of James I to the English throne in 1603 the emerging English standard began to influence the spoken and written Middle Scots of Scotland.

Modern readers of English are generally able to understand texts written in the late phase of the Early Modern English period (e.g. the first edition of the King James Bible and the works of William Shakespeare), while texts from the earlier phase (such as Le Morte d'Arthur) may present more difficulties. The Early Modern English of the early 17th century forms the base of the grammatical and orthographical conventions that survive in Modern English.

We talk in english, we write in english, but have u wondered how was the language 'engilsh' in the olden days?
That the language of that time is now generally referred to as Old English..
Have u wondered how different was the language then from the language now?
The language then, as most of us know, was difficult as there was less word stock to express our feelings.. But in my opinion, the language, the old english was much more fun and interesting..
The beauty of the language lies in the way u use it to express yourself..
The language the was actually.... "Beautiful" :) ♥
