“The same language” is sort of oversimplifying. Languages are smooth things that vary over time and between places, there’s not one “definitive” form of a language that is more valid or precise than the others. We only learn what sound an ‘a’ or an ‘e’ makes by listening to other speakers. We don’t all hear the same speakers, and we don’t copy them perfectly, and that lets languages drift over time.
