How can they understand King Arthur? Wouldn’t he be speaking some indecipherable 6th century dialect?
In the alt text, the comic artist points out that “SMBC did an even more accurate version but I didn’t want to copy them too much.”
lol damn, that’s where I got my idea from XD busted
That’s the footnote, the actual text on image hover is:
“Oh yeah and another thing, not a big fan of the English language, or the lack of Trial by Combat in deciding our differences!”

some form of britonic celt
Ironically the people of Brittany in France might understand him since they speak Britonic there.
There is a great SciFi short story around this premise.
Essentially, a company starts building a AI’s that embody the characteristics of past historical figures which develop inevitable cult followings as they’re given a public voice. As the King Arthur AI runs for election with a nationalist movement that sweeps the UK (mainly England) by storm, the company, seeing the success of their King Arthur model, start to look to expand their business abroad to other countries and other important historical figures. Germany beckons them.
