I think the Expanse and Cloud Atlas did it, are there any other good examples?

In the novel I'm writing this occurs. Someone from 2004 is transported to a planet in the year 240,000. She learns the language, but she can't quite get the dialect down because humans have evolved different facial/vocal muscles by this point.

Obviously it's in writing so I can get away with not having to explicitly define the accent. 😅
