À propos de ce contenu audio
In the first couple of episodes, we saw how French took over as the language of power after the Norman Conquest, while English got pushed down to just being the “common folks’ talk.” But guess what? History had a major plot twist coming!
This episode, we’re diving into two game-changing events that flipped the script for English — the Black Death and the Hundred Years’ War.
Together, these epic events helped kick the old ruling class’s language to the curb and put English back in the spotlight. Slowly but surely, English shook off its “common tongue” label and, by 1362, even got crowned the official language by law. Yep, that was the big moment when English made its comeback tour!
So buckle up and let’s explore the wild ride of how English went from zero to hero.
