Humanity has little experience with the speed of language evolution in presence of audiovisual recording technology. The Quran did not prevent Arabic dialects from diverging, but it sure slowed down evolution compared to other languages that did not have their own religious texts or got translations only much later. I think it is quite reasonable to expect an even lower amount of change with a vast, well studied corpus of audiovisual material. (My personal illusion breaker was thermal management of the off-screen survivors: I usually would not dare to nitpick on such a thing, but when the topic has been elaborated so deeply for the ark-dwellers, I just can't switch back to the default mode of happy ignorance that quickly, in the same book)
