Eternal English	comment	All languages are always changing, all the time, so long as someone is alive to speak them. This is the basis behind an entire discipline of linguistics. It means that a thousand years' difference (for example, between Old English and modern English) can make two versions of the same language completely unintelligible; another thousand (as with the 2,000 years dividing Latin and modern French) and you might not even realize they're related. In real life, a character traveling into the distant future would literally have to learn a completely new language: even if people are still using spoken language rather than, say, Electronic Telepathy and even if they are speaking what they call "English", there's a fairly high probability that it won't be similar enough to the character's English to allow intelligibility.note While all languages change, they do so at different rates: English is highly mutable while, for example, Icelandic is quite stable — and even its pronunciation is quite divergent from Old Norse. It has been stipulated that this is directly relevant to the magnitude of societal and cultural change, and that a global communication network that persists for many centuries would prevent English from changing much, for reasons of compatibility with older but commonly available and accessed historical data. Additionally, the writing and speech of a particular language don't change at the same rates: for instance, while modern English speakers can read Chaucer with some difficulty, if they were transported back to the 1300s they'd probably perceive the English spoken as a foreign language, since the pronunciation of words has changed drastically while the spelling has remained somewhat fixed since the invention of the printing press. In fiction, however, linguistic drift is almost universally ignored. For writers, it's a lot of trouble to translate into an ancient or imaginary language, and audiences often prefer to watch a show in their native language. Therefore, people hailing from vastly different time periods will almost always speak the language of the audience, and rarely with so much as Just a Stupid Accent (though characters from The Middle Ages or thereabouts typically speak Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe). In many future settings, the writers will try to balance this out by throwing in a couple of new slang words or having a handful of words gain or lose an embarrassing connotation over the years. Others will try to attribute this trope to the advent of recording technology. This may or may not turn out to be the case: after all, we are discussing tropes and memes on a wiki hosted on the web. Someone from the year 2000 wouldn't understand some of that sentence, while someone from 1990 would understand almost none of it (hell, a good number of people today still wouldn't understand it). On the other hand, while William Shakespeare would be unable to understand the sentence "His car's on the blink—the distributor is busted", the very concept of "car" being alien to him, it's entirely possible to read his works with a dictionary at most for troublesome words, and were we to pop into 1600 and chat with him about the weather, we'd have trouble with each other's accents and a few changed grammatical features, but no worse than, say, an American Southerner on first meeting a Yorkshireman. In some cases, a work will be set in a distant time period, but the characters don't encounter any time travelers, read modern books, or watch modern movies. Settings like these are actually invoking Translation Convention. The absence of Language Drift. Compare with Aliens Speaking English. See also Future Slang, which tries to partially avert this trope.

Eternal English / int_1869a077	comment	Used in Samurai Jack, though most likely with Japanese instead of English. From the moment Jack lands in the distant future, he understands the locals perfectly and vice versa, though slang terms and "high five" confuse him. Jack was shown to have trained in many places around the world growing up before he first faced Aku, so presumably he's multilingual. In the episode where he has amnesia and doesn't even have combat-related muscle memory, Jack can still understand what fish-people are saying, though the Scotsman, a native to the time, has no idea. Perhaps going through the time portal also made him an Omniglot.

Gunne."note The middle initial and last name of their effective founder Nathan Ridley Gunne. Similarly the name of the Goner fringe sect is vowel-drifted from "Gunner", also a derivation of Gunne. At the same time, it's played straight by the fact that the Terrans, Argons, and Aldrinites can easily understand each other despite each having been separated from the other for nearly 800 years.

They meet a native girl who uses "a language in which I seemed occasionally to hear a familiar word," and when one protagonist tries speaking to her in English, French, and German she seems to catch a few words but is just as mystified. A local polyglot figures out what the protagonists speak in — "Ank- ayyank-leesh. Yank-ank-kee." — and a man is produced who is "fifteen mothers English", aka fifteen generations removed from English ancestors, and knows an archaic form of the language, to translate for them and help them learn the dialect, which is a blend of many. Other works in the setting (except perhaps the 1995 computer game that no one remembers) which feature new arrivals washing ashore play it utterly straight, with said arrivals showing up speaking the same language as the locals.

Eternal English / int_56e10d85	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium: J. R. R. Tolkien was a professor of linguistics and fully aware how unrealistic the idea of an unchanging language is, but he used it anyway with the (roughly) 500-year-old Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. Actually, the 500 year age might be dealing with a retcon attempt to avert it. The appendices are the ones making Gollum 500. In fact, they specifically mention events which make it possible for him to be 500 — like the Hobbits temporarily returning to Anduin around that time while Sauron was banished, but the book itself seems to imply he's closer to 2000 — and The Silmarillion states explicitly he's a thousand at least (the Ring was stated to be found while Gondor still had kings). It is also explicitly mentioned at some point that the text of the books have been intentionally rendered as Modern English, even though the different ages and regions would have had different dialects and (to an extent) vocabulary. This is done to make it easier for a modern reader to understand. The Orcs in particular are said to be using a "degraded" dialect that the narration flatly refuses to render accurately. This even extends to names: Frodo's name is actually "Maura."

When you do this, you find that people speak the same sort of English they do in your time, though this may be a function of the vision/time travel, rather than a true case. It's fairly vague on this point. From the Dawnguard expansion, there is Serana, who has been kept in stasis for so long that she is unaware of the existence of the Cyrodiilic Empire, yet not only speaks Tamrielic, but speaks it in a very modern, nonchalant dialect, and has no trouble socializing.

The "Outer World" has little access to magic and thrives on technology instead, and has peoples in various types of environments, including a scant amount of primitive tribes. The third season of the anime has the main party go to the Outer World, but unless one member of the group has a translator on them, it would be unlikely that the Outer Worlders would speak the same language (whatever the heck it is) as they do. This problem doesn't arise in the novels because Lina and Gourry stay in the Inner World for the entire time.

While the characters' dialogue is rendered in late 20th / early 21st Century English, this is actually Translation Convention. It is noted in sourcebooks that the English language has gone through Early Modern and Star League Era versions before reaching its 'present day' form. The Clans, which spent 250-odd years isolated from the Inner Sphere, have their own dialect which is largely unchanged from Star League English but with new words added (like 'ristar' from 'rising star' and 'batchall' from 'battle challenge') and contractions (e.g. "isn't", "won't") not used in polite company.

They are each Dunmer from different time periods, yet the player is able to communicate with them all without issue. In Skyrim: At one point in the main quest you either have a vision of the past or travel back in time a couple thousand years. When you do this, you find that people speak the same sort of English they do in your time, though this may be a function of the vision/time travel, rather than a true case. It's fairly vague on this point. From the Dawnguard expansion, there is Serana, who has been kept in stasis for so long that she is unaware of the existence of the Cyrodiilic Empire, yet not only speaks Tamrielic, but speaks it in a very modern, nonchalant dialect, and has no trouble socializing. Generally speaking, the series avoids it it when writing about languages, but plays it straight when not doing so would get in the way of the player character understanding writing or a person speaking (at least when the point of the quest isn't to find a way to translate). For example, Tamrielic is described as a language that changed in the four hundred years or so between Redguard and Arena, with "Tibedetha" given as an example (it's Middle Tamrielic for Tiber's Day, preserved as it ended up the name for a traditional festival), yet it is also possible to find over four thousand year old letters not only perfectly preserved but also rendered in entirely normal English.

Eternal English / int_c346fa94	comment	A New Mutants story involving time-travel brought them to the middle ages where Wolfsbane (Rahne Sinclair, aged 14 or 15) was able to converse fluently with Robert the Bruce just by virtue of coming from Scotland while her teammates weren't. There was no indication that Rahne had learned Middle English or indeed Scots Gaelic (should Robert have even spoken the latter; it had already become a minority language by the Bruce's era). Or Modern Lowland Scots, which is actually closer to Middle English than to modern English, but Lowland Scots is a nearly dead language, even less likely to Rahne to know anything about. Especially since she's a Highland Scot.

Eternal English / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Zig-Zagged between Princess Luna and the Crystal Ponies. Both are products of pony life 1000 years ago, and Princess Luna is still shown speaking Flowery Elizabethan English in her appearance in "Luna Eclipsed". Part of her Character Development involves learning to speak in a more modern manner. The Crystal Ponies, however, speak modern English with no trouble. In some season 7 episodes, Twilight states to be fluent in Old Ponish, averting this trope. However, in the finale, the author of one such book, brought to modern days from a thousand years ago, speaks the same English (or whatever language you are watching the show) as the main characters and understands everybody just fine.

Eternal English / int_c43df4d8	comment	There's an extremely ludicrous example, not featuring English, in the Doctor Who story "Four To Doomsday", in which the white Australian character Tegan is able to communicate in an Australian Aborigine language with an Aboriginal character who was supposedly abducted from Earth by aliens 40,000 years before her time. This is implausible not just on grounds of linguistic drift, wherein we have NO attestations or models of any languages spoken 40,000 years ago, but also because there are many different indigenous languages in Australia, most of them mutually unintelligible, and because it would be extremely unlikely for any urban white Australian (Tegan comes from Brisbane) to speak any Aboriginal language fluently unless they had made a special effort to do so for political or cultural reasons. In terms of plausibility, it would be like being able to communicate with Cro Magnon man by virtue of knowing modern Haitian Creole. (Many fans assume that the TARDIS was tactfully translating for her and letting her think that she was speaking the same language.) The show in general relied on this trope initially, with nearly every planet and society the Doctor and his companions visited speaking Received Pronunciation English. Justified in the Tom Baker era when it was revealed that the TARDIS has a translation circuit which ensures that everyone around is intelligible (except when the plot demands otherwise, of course). The idea of the translation circuit began to be brought up far more frequently in the revived series.

There is a subversion in that the Rieze Maxian Rowen needs Elympios-born Alvin to translate a poster while they're in the Elympion city of Trigleph... but the Cypher Language of the Elympion and Rieze Maxian written languages are identical, only that one is in a serif font and the other isn't. This carries over to the sequel, where Elympions Ludger and Elle have no trouble communicating with Rieze Maxians and are never suspected of being Elympion by the way they talk, not even in Alternate Universes where the two worlds are still separated.

Despite the game taking place 300 years after the apocalypse, where uneducated humans live in scattered, mostly isolated communities, there have been no regional language shifts. In the Phase World setting, Galactic Trade Tongue Four is in fact the descendant of the English Language, where an English Speaker has roughly a 50% chance to understand Trade Four. Mind you, so much time has passed in the Three Galaxies universe that everyone has forgotten where Earth was.

In Season 1, several ancient books are written in modern English in spite of them being supposed to be centuries- or millennia-old texts, such as "The Book Of Prophecies, Past & Future", which was likely written by Elves who canonically have their own language to boot. In Season 2, Shelby is able to read a message-sign which was placed in a decimated area over a thousand years prior to the events of the season and likely years before the events of Season 1 happened as well, suggesting little to no linguistic drift.

Despite this 3000 year gap, the protagonists (who were asleep during that time) can converse with them with no trouble at all. Granted, in a weekly publication as competitive as the Shonen Jump, the author probably doesn't have the luxury of inventing and explaining a whole new language. Later this is given an explanation: Byakuya insists on keeping the Hundred Stories completely the same through the generations in order to minimize linguistic drift, similar to the real life practice of passing down formal Arabic verbatim.

As it turns out they simply used their tremendous psychic powers to learn modern English instantly. In the first episodes Helen and John's mode of speech is a clue as to their shared origin. Their English is perfectly comprehensible, but slightly archaic and formalized. They and Tesla have all exhibited some distaste for modern conventions of the language. Good luck picking up on the fact that Tesla is Serbian, given his near-total lack of an appropriate accent even in flashbacks. The only time this is ever mentioned is when the British government requests they stop Adam and do it for their country, prompting Tesla to mention that he's not British.

A Translation Convention is in effect, but it doesn't explain how the characters can get away with verbatim quotes of Abraham Lincoln (or, in Garibaldi's case, Looney Tunes cartoons). In one episode there is a delusional man claiming to be King Arthur, they figure out that he isn't who he claims to be because he speaks modern English. Seems strange, as earlier Jack the Ripper was portrayed with just a British accent, but between the series being set in the 23rd century (2258-2263), thus with relatively little drift, and King Arthur's first language not being English (as Old English was the language of his main enemies, Arthur's would have been either a variant of 5th/6th century Latin or Common Brittonic), is perfectly justified.
