The Vow of the blood guard would probably keep the language the same. Remember they were around at the time of the desecration and never left the current lords. This would have at least slowed the ever changing language and probably stopped it all together.

The last post about the Bloodgurad made me think..."Yeah, they would have peoken the same as the old Lords; yet they are able to talk to the New Lods."
So what is it that the Lorestaat was having trouble translating?

Maybe it was the written language.
A thousand years living as as nomads would certainly have an effect on the literacy levels, therefore any abilty to read may have been quashed out, ar at least severly hampered.

I doubt if the first ward was an on CD; it was probebly written n anicient scrolls; so once the people of the Land returned, and the Giants gave them the ward, they had to first figure out what all the symbols were for...kind of like translating the Rosetta Stone.
I thought you were a ripe grape
a cabernet sauvignon
a bottle in the cellar
the kind you keep for a really long time
