False. The language in Chaucer's tales is considered Middle English, not Old English. Chaucer wrote in the late 14th century, a period characterized by significant changes in the English language, transitioning from Old English (used until around 1150) to Middle English. His work is known for its more recognizable form of English compared to the earlier Old English texts.
