You have a day to source some clothing appropriate to the time period. Unfortunately, that’s not enough time to learn a dialect.

    That would be an interesting one, because I speak enough old norse and Latin to pass as a foreigner from the far east (until they realise I don’t speak Arabic). But 2523 English will be unrecognizable, and worse, they’d probably recognize our “old” English. It’s like if Shakespeare showed up today, vs some guy from the future who barely speaks English and pretends to only speak an uncommon foreign language.
