The biggest difference in speech in the 1500s compared to now was mainly there were heavier, thicker accents among colonists to America.

People used more "thee" and "thou", which was common language within churches as well. I can't think of another precise example, except that "slang" as we know it today did not exist -- neither in the amount of slang used or in the derogatory meanings that slang has today.

People in 1500 spoke in a variety of languages depending on their region, such as Middle English in England, Old French in France, and Latin in scholarly circles. The language used in everyday conversation would have had regional variations and dialects.
