This sounds a little bit like Dutch. ;)
-
That was an excellent reading! I loved the rhythm. I've never heard it recited so elegantly and with such feeling. Well done!
-
I had to recite this way back in 1977 at Hutchinson High School during my Senior English Class. It was a requirement to pass the course. I can still do it! My english teacher taught us to say it a little more sing-song-y that this fellow does it, but the pronounciations are mighty close.

I'm screwed..This is British Literature?? Are we ever gonna use this in RL?
-
fuck and i am taking not one, but two chaucer classes :(
-
I'm pretty sure my english teacher has no idea what the fuck this means and has just learned about it from google.

Sounds like Shrek

It seems too strongly modern German in its pronuciations (I understood it better in German than English); rather I would think it would have a much stronger French element of pronunciation.

@watsinvrwallet, @mariiwhat, i see what you're saying, it would include celtic and english and all of that, but that means saying 'british' refering to a language makes no sense, for example, it would be like saying, "they spoke german english chinese"

@WolfBlade13179 I think he meant British-English as in the dialect of English spoken in Great Britain (which is incorrect to say anyway because Britain is made up of many countries that each have different dialects. There is no such thing as a "British" accent. There are English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish accents. And even those countries have huge accent variation when you travel a few miles.)
