Later in the Middle English period, however, and particularly with the development of the Chancery Standard in the 15th century, orthography became relatively standardised in a form based on the East Midlands-influenced speech of London.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7122.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7122.txt
