Pretty cool, James!
How long did it take you to get the pronunciation (and to do it all in order)?
How do we know how they pronounced things back then?
I’m not sure how moderns are certain of the pronunciation of Middle English, though I would venture to guess that some of it was determined through Middle English poetry, since poetry has a certain meter for its lines. It didn’t take me too long to figure out the pronunciation, but I was probably more excited about learning it than most 🙂
