What languages are spoken by Robin Hood?

Robin Hood is a fictional character, so he doesn't actually speak any language. However, the stories of Robin Hood are set in medieval England, so he would likely speak Middle English. This is the language spoken in England from roughly the 12th to the 15th centuries, and it is significantly different from Modern English.

Here are some examples of how Middle English might sound, compared to Modern English:

Modern English: "I am Robin Hood. I will steal from the rich and give to the poor."

Middle English: "Ich am Robyn Hod. Ich schal stelen fro the riche and geven to the pore."

While we don't know what Robin Hood would actually sound like, it's safe to assume he would be speaking a form of Middle English.
