Yes, and no. Shakespeare uses many different styles of language, such as blank verse, rhyming couplets and ordinary "vernacular" language.
All of the plays of William Shakespeare were written in English.
ys and no people could pick it up through shakesperes plays
Yes. Modern English as a language has been spoken since about 1500. It was the only language Shakespeare and his audiences spoke and is of course the same language we speak today. Some people find Shakespeare's plays to be difficult primarily because he used a huge vocabulary and a poetic style to write his plays. He also wrote long and complex sentences from time to time.
Singlish is only spoken by Singaporeans, so not many people speak it (thank goodness really)
What really accounts for differences in accent among people who speak English is their mother tongue differences, and environmental influences.
Yes, they did.

They were more likely to speak in prose and less likely in poetry. Of course, all types of characters speak prose sometimes.
Some people speak English in Indonesia. Though sometimes their English isn't perfect, there are some there who can speak it really well.
Just actors. Most of Shakespeare's plays are in verse--they have a rigid rhythm to them. Some of the lines even rhyme. None of this is the way people really talked. Sometimes Shakespeare's characters speak in prose, without a set rhythm, which is closer to natural speech. Yet even so, when Shakespeare's lines are compared with those of some of his contemporaries, who tried harder to imitate the way people really talked, the difference is clear. Shakespeare's characters are much easier to understand for us because he does not use slang idioms.
I really think it doesn't make a difference. I know people with broad Glasgow accents who speak Italian beautifully.
Yes ! there are probably many people out there who are having an on line affair as we speak !!!
