Wouldn't that be about right though - aren't there various dying dialects in the eastern US that still speak Shakespearian English?
BTW, I think it was Terry Jones did a bit about how the Bible in English actually helped standardise the language - I can believe that fully, having suffered through various dialects of Irish as a child.
