Bookmarked and plus onned!

Thank you for that, it was very interesting!

Thanks. I thought so too.

Speaking like that sounds like the perfect way to troll telemarketers. "Thow are the falsest wrech alyve!"

Here's a fun bit in Old High German/Old Saxon/Old Bavarian which we had to learn back in high school, starts at 0:45

Wow, interesting! I always liked old english -although I don`t even fully understand modern english-, words like "thou" or "ye olde" always fascinated me!

Well, just in case you didn't know, "ye" was never pronounced the way it looks. The "y" actually stood in for the "thorn" character. Here's a link, if you're interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_%28letter%29

I'm surprised nobody seems to have posted this yet:
The History of English

Interesting does it include old castilian spanish?

Old Frankish.

Even Edo Period Japanese language? (A time before japanese included english sounding words)

That's not correct. There are in fact two versions of 'ye':

1. An actual 'ye' (pronounced [jeː] ), pronoun, 2nd person plural; it's the Middle English equivalent of our Modern English 'you'
2. What you said, example of 'Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe'

Sorry, I didn't consider the other usage, but you're correct. I was just responding to the "ye olde" bit! That was hilarious! Thanks for posting it. :-D

How come you've suddenly developed a lisp? :-P

Nice video. They forgot "Denglish", a kind of words used in Germany which are believed to be english but in fact are not. For example the word "Handy" which means cellphone/mobile phone. Many germans believe that handy is the original american word for cell phone, so don`t wonder if some german asks you what handy do you have!

Nice, although the one from the Canterbury Tales kind of butchers the 'gh' in words like 'droghte' and 'night'.

Edit: This reminds me that one of my professors recently recorded a Middle English poem in original pronounciation as well, perhaps you guys might be interested in it: Speke Parrot.
