The Elizabethen English,<br> was mainly spoken from the 15th century till the late 20th Century,<br> and this however became the major style of English speech,<br> and also influenced the way English writer wrote their Dramas,<br> their poems,<br> even their stage plays.\n\n William Shakespeare for once never wrote in modern simple English simply because he was never around when English language was reformed.\n\nMost of the text and drama script of Shakespeare and work are all written in this form of English and it had to take research writers to decipher the meanings,<br> and made Shakespeare's work easier to read,<br> in some other works,<br> they added keynote where these simple English meaning of these Elizabethan English are found in any work of art done by Shakespeare or any English writer.\n\nThat for instance Othello,<br> and tempest of one Shakespeare most treasured works. They were once stage dramas or stage plays and it was really becoming difficult for people to read.\n\nThe hustles of finding the meaning to exact words started making reading seems so difficult,<br> and advertently when it was deciphered people still keep reading it in the Elizabethan way,<br> because they felt it preserved the richness of the works\n\n\nHowever these Elizabethan English also were used by English writers to interprete the king James version of the Bible which was originally in Aramaic and Hebrew. \n\n\n![images.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcuEnUcuY2pTryJrUyoprjZNjF3YHz4gXYshGWcakNoXA\/images.jpg)\n\n\n\n### COMMON ELIZABETHAN WORDS AND PHRASES AND THEIR SIMPLE MEANING.\n\n#### Thine ^ Yours\n\n#### Thou \/ YE\/ Thee ^ You\n\n<Hr>\n<Hr>\n\nIn some other way,<br> when words are being pronounced very quickly,<br> the consonant letters are being omitted. Eg.\n\n\n#### OVER ^ O'ER \n\n\nIn a few instances some verbs have the 'EST' added to their back however which may have been removed now.\n\n\n#### Mightiest ^ Might\n\n#### Can'st ^ can\n\n\n#### Mayest ^ may\n\n\n\nThere has however been a lot of changes in the 21st century. But these texts and style may never go into extinction and the best way is to have indept knowledge of it. In order to preserve history and enjoy the richness of literature. \nLiterature may not be spoken again in plain English,<br> and may continue as far as the 25th century or more.\n\n\n<Hr>\n<Hr>\n\n\n### \u00a9 Josediccus 2017\n\n\n### [Image credit (google.com)\n\n\n\n\n",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"busy\",<br>\"app\":\"busy\/2.1.0\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\",<br>\"links\":[\"google.com\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcYaPoANahgGbLKC6qRHzj1uahwCQrZzBKwukenfrvF6b\/download.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcuEnUcuY2pTryJrUyoprjZNjF3YHz4gXYshGWcakNoXA\/images.jpg\" ,<br>\"tags\":[\"article\",<br>\"blog\",<br>\"art\",<br>\"nigeria\",<br>\"busy\" " | | vote | "voter":"josediccus",
