AI overview
Middle English is the form of English spoken and written between roughly the 1200s and 1500s, falling between Old English and the Modern English we use today. It matters because it represents a crucial transitional period in how the English language developed, shaped by the Norman Conquest and other historical changes that transformed English vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.

中古英语（英語：Middle English）是指英格兰王国在中世纪中后期——即从公元1066年诺曼征服英格兰开始到1489年都铎王朝建立结束期间的金雀花王朝时期——所通用的英语变种。这个时期的英语和中世纪早期盎格鲁-撒克逊时期的古英语相比，在读音、拼写、词汇和语法方面都产生了较大的变化，一大部分古英语词汇被淘汰，转而吸收了罗曼语系中法语（诺曼语）和拉丁语的很多词汇和短语。
