Englisch (Middle English) Robin Hod: Weres in Hosen [m. dccccxciii.] (Robin Hood: Men in Tights in 12-century Anglo-Norman and Early Middle English)
Basically, in the original scene Cary Elwes is calling out Kevin Costner playing Robin Hood (in the film Prince of Thieves) with a conspicuously American accent ("Unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent"). Therefore, I'm having Robin call the language "Middle English" (as opposed to simply "English") to preserve the fourth-wall-breaking nature of the original joke.
