[Star Wars]Why does Yoda talk the way he does? Do others of his species talk like him?

I always figured that since he's close to 900 years old at the time of the Invasion of Naboo that he's speaking a form of Basic that was more common centuries ago, at least on Yoda's planet. Languages evolve over time, as does slang and just simply the way certain cultures or regions of people the same language. Try reading some Middle English or Old English some time. Additionally that style of speaking might also be from Yoda's people specifically.
