A speaker can pick up a book written in the 11th century and find that the grammar, words, structure are all consistent and understandable.

It goes even further than that to a certain extent.
In a past wikipedia rabbit hole I was surprised to recognize and understand some (transliterated) sumerian words! Suddenly being thrown 8000 years in the past is not the catastrophic scenario I was worrying about.
True, What i find hard is reading or figuring out the word, it's really easy to read the published book of a manuscript, but only people with experience can read the manuscript.

Latin is largely similar due to an obsession with preserving the language dating all the way back to antiquity.
I think the big difference with English (and European vernacular at large) is that spelling was standardized surprisingly late, no earlier than the the 16th century, but with many languages several hundred years later. Before that you had the weird-looking "Thys boke is myne"-style spelling.
Sounds weird when you point it out, but the first English dictionary (the "Table Alphabeticall") was printed around the same time Shakespeare died.
