    You’ve got it. In 500 years we’ll never advanced so much and there will have been so much current exchange and drift I doubt you could be understood at all.

    In the 1500s you could get by as a foreigner who barely understood the language. You’d have zero cultural norms so most language that wasn’t literal would be unintelligible.
