Assignment #4/Early Modern English & Modern English

Long time no post!, as if anyone would care of XD
Well, today I'll explain a bit of modern english, as always, for my english class
Early modern english is a stage of the english language, it`s right after middle english and before modern english, early modern english is not very different from common english, in fact, if you can read an article in english, you should have little problems reading a book in early modern english, the few differences in spelling, writting and grammar, were vanquished with the great vowel shift.
the great vowel shift was a big change in pronounciation iun english language between the year 1200 to 1600.
curiously there are still some places where you can hear people speaking in dialects that came directly fropm early modern english, in some places of yorkshire, they still refer to "thou" as you.
the lack of uniformity in english language was coerrected by an englishman
None country of the world have early modern english as an official language, even thou there are still some towns and countries in which early modern english is spoken, still they are less and less as time passes by, to the point of saying that earlñy modern english is a dead language, but modern english is spoken around the globe in many, many countries, in fact is an official language in 53 countries, without counting the United Nations!
the great vowel shift took place in between 1200 and 1600, even thou, early modern english was used by most of the english speakers around 1650.
modern english is spoken as a first language by 508 million people.
there are a lot of differences between early modern english and modern english, for example in pronouns we have differences like:

The letter had two distinct lowercase forms: as today, and <ſ>.The former was used at the end of a word, and the latter everywhere else, except that double-lowercase-S was variously written <ſſ> or <ſs>.

u and v were not yet considered two distinct letters, but different forms of the same letter. Typographically, was used at the start of a word and elsewhere; hence vnmoued (for modern unmoved) and loue (for love).

i and j were also not yet considered two distinct letters, but different forms of the same letter, hence "ioy" for "joy" and "iust" for "just".

A silent was often appended to words. The last consonant sometimes was doubled when adding this ; hence ſpeake, cowarde, manne (for man), runne (for run). The sound /ʌ/ was often written (as in son); hence ſommer, plombe (for modern summer, plumb).

usually the change in spelling was all about where was the letter that changed.

Early modern english comes from a variety of english families which are Indo-european, Germanic, Anglo-frisian and Anglic.

I think the primary factor of the spread of english language was the fact that Britain had colonies around the globe... I have to run now, but i'll continue soon
