But, it appears that humans are the main speakers of this language, thus
most of the changes would come from humans. It doesn't matter how long
Yoda lives, he'd have to keep up with the fast-changing, short-lived
Humans. "Yodaic" is probably a very slow-changing language, where 900
years has as little change as a century in human langs.
