Language has evolved over the period of time and keeps on changing. Sometimes the differences are so miniscule that it becomes difficult to recognise or realise the difference. Earlier, people used a sign language to communicate with each other but as we grew, the evolution of language keeps on shaping its majesty. Today, without language communication is not feasible and takes will require strenuous of efforts to convey your message. Research shows the English language is evolving faster than ever, leaving an older generation trailing in the forgotten verbal dust.

However, today most of the people use slang language and that is degrading the real value and the precious understanding of the language. Imagine, the words which were used back decades ago and compare it with the words used today, the difference will provide the answers. It is not wrong to say that humans have shaped the language according to their preferences and convenience and today we are just following the trend. It is very interesting and intriguing to know about the languages used by our ancestors, say, 500 years ago.

A Dutch University professor read aloud a political satire written 500 years ago by Englishman John Skelton and I forebode that, it will be difficult to understand even a single word of it.
