I think it's unlikely we'll see another major shift.
This one is the result of the Norman Invasion in 1066 - it just took a few hundred years to get to Shakespeare's time and modern English - which is also a result of English becoming the common language with French being the language of the gentry.
Unless there's another language invasion, it's not likely to change so much.
Just look at the difference from British to American English over a ~300 year period, and that's with both Jefferson and Webster intentionally trying to make American English uniquely different from British English.
