Every language used in daily life evolves. English, French, German, they are all different from 1,000 or even 500 years ago. English, in fact, has changed so much, we would not understand the early versions of the English language at all, while the core words of the Yiddish language has not changed as drastically. Although hard concentration is needed, anyone who knows Yiddish would be able to decipher the Yiddish written 500 years ago.
