What language did Chaucer write?

Chaucer wrote in Middle English (although of course he didn't think of it that way; he would have said he was writing in Englisshe). Chaucer wrote in what is now called Middle English. Middle English has many words and spellings that are still the same in English today, though it was pronounced very differently, and a modern English reader can make some sense of it. Old English was used about 200 years earlier and is a mixture of early German and Scandinavian. It used letters which are not in the modern alphabet and has almost nothing in common with modern English in spelling or meaning.
