So I'm currently playing the Horizon games, and it got me thinking about how much language changes over time, even without weird sci-fi stuff happening. First off, has anyone else played? I love this game for so many reasons.

Discussion I'd like to open here is how much do you think language would truly change in a post apocalyptic world? Do you think it would be slower without ways to spread information quickly? How much do you think it could change in a single generation?

Personally I think English wouldn't sound like English anymore by the time of the events of Zero Dawn, and I think it would only take a couple generations.
