About 500 years ago, the English language underwent a phenomenon known as the Great Vowel Shift. Starting from about 40 years ago, Dutch has been undergoing its own Great Vowel Shift, and from what I glean listening to spoken German, it recently began its Great Vowel Shift. I would love to be able to hear how both languages sound a century from now
