This article gives great examples on how we now pronounce words differently to how people many have done several years ago. It comments under the titles; When sounds swap around, When sounds disappear, When sounds intrude and words that used to begin with 'n'. It also suggest reasons this could happen and how gradually over time words get changed without even realising it. It shows that without these errors the language we use could be completely different from how we know it today.
