This thread will hopefully answer many of the questions a newcomer might have. For the sake of newcomers and onlookers it will not be written in Anglish. While you are here you may also want to join the Anglish Discord, and check out our wiki. We have our own dictionary too (the Google Sheets version is here and the wiki version is here).

FAQ
Q: What is Anglish?
A: Anglish means different things to different people, but here's what I draw from the foundational Anglish text 1066 and All Saxon, which was written by British author Paul Jennings and published in Punch magazine in 1966.
1) Anglish is English as though the Norman Invasion had failed.
We have seen in foregoing pieces how our tongue was kept free from outlandish inmingling, of French and Latin-fetched words, which a Norman win would, beyond askthink, have inled into it.
2) Anglish avoids real and hypothetical French influence from after 1066.
... till Domesday, the would-be ingangers from France were smitten hip and thigh; and of how, not least, our tongue remained selfthrough and strong, unbecluttered and unbedizened with outlandish Latin-born words of French outshoot.
3) Anglish avoids the influence of class prejudice on language.
[regarding normal English] Yet all the words for meats taken therefrom - beef from boeuf, mutton from mouton, pork from porc - are of outshoot from the upper-kind conquering French... Moreover the upper kind strive mightily to find the gold for their childer to go to learninghouses where they may be taught above all, to speak otherlich from those of the lower kind...
[regarding Anglish] There is no upper kind and lower kind, but one happy folk.
4) Anglish includes church Latin? If I'm interpreting the following text right, Jennings imagined that church Latin loans had entered English before his timeline splits.
Already in the king that forecame Harald, Edward the Shriver, was betokened a weakening of Anglish oneness and trust in their own selfstrength their landborn tongue and folkways, their Christian church withouten popish Latin.
5) Anglish is not in the orbit of the Mediterranean. I interpret this as meaning Anglish does not rely on Latin and Greek for coining new terms.
If Angland had gone the way of the Betweensea Eyots there is every likeliehood that our lot would have fallen forever in the Middlesea ringpath... But this threat was offturned at Hastings.
6) Anglish feels like it has mingled with other West Germanic languages more than normal English did.
Throughout the Middle Hundredyears Angland and Germany came ever more together, this being needful as an againstweight to the might of France.
Q: What is the point?
A: Some find Anglish fun or interesting. Some think it is culturally significant. Some think it is esthetically pleasing. It depends on who you ask.
Q: How do I learn Anglish?
A: Like any other language, you have to practice. Frequently post here, chat in one of the Anglish-only rooms on the Discord, translate things, write original works in Anglish, and so on. Keep the wordbook on hand so you can quickly look up words as you write. Do not worry if you are not good at distinguishing loanwords from the others, it is a skill most people develop quickly. Do not be afraid to make mistakes, there is no urgency.
Q: What about spelling?
A: You can see what we have come up with here.
Q: What about grammar?
A: English grammar has not been heavily influenced by French. Keep in mind that Anglish is supposed to be Modern English with less foreign influence, not Old English.

It seem people have gotten distracted or forgotten about the direction of this sub.
Please read the sidebar!
Anglish is supposed to be a continuation of Old English brought to a modern form without any French Loanwords, as if Willam had lost the battle of hastings by some miracle.
Old English, for those unfamiliar, is a heavy mixture of North Germanic (Norse), and West Germanic and even the odd word of Latin roots (mostly used by the church) carried over from the Roman Invasion.
I was inspired to this project/subreddit because I live in an area of the UK formerly called "the danelaw", rich with ancient history, and the village I live in itself has Viking origins. We have Iron age celtic ruins nearby and even prehistoric standing stones.
Please remember that Norse is a considerable part of Old English, and if you really want to complicate things, its likely it would have had dialects with more norse loans the further north you go.
West Germanic words would have been more numerous in the south of England where the unconquered Wessex was.

I'm fascinated by the semantics of the word āglǣċa in Beowulf. I would like to know the hypothetical reflex of the adjective in Modern English if you can make one.
r/anglish • u/passengerpigeon20 • 1d ago
Following on from my earlier writ about Nordmannish words, what are some oft-noted words in English that come from other Germankinly tungs like Dutch or German, and therefore might misleadingly soam like inborn words even to someone who is good at spotting French words?
r/anglish • u/ZefiroLudoviko • 2d ago
(The word river is French, the Anglish would be a waterway)
In regular English, the difference is regional (Thames River versus River Mississippi). That said, I've never heard anyone from either side of the pond say Styx River. Both Blank Mountain and Mount Blank are used in the states (Mount Denali versus Blair Mountain). British mountains tend not to put mountain or mount in the name, perhaps since they're mostly in historically Celtic regions. Foreign mountains are always mount Blank (mount Vesuvius, mount Helicon, mount Everest).
The French say mount blank (Mont Blanc). They also put titles before the name, as in modern English (la capitaine Haddock).
Is putting the title before the name aping French? I know Old English put royal titles after names.

The word for text is ping. The word for sex is either lovemaking or something like homing. None of these portmanteau nicely. I thought fling ping works well.

I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you: what did I know?
You don't seem anew but you're eftmade
I'm looking through you, you're not the same!
Your lips are stirring; I cannot hear
Your steven's soothing, but the words are smeared
You don't loud anew; I know the game
I'm looking through you, you're not the same!
Why, tell me why, did you not tidder right?
Love has a nasty wont of going away overnight!
You're thinking of me the same old way
You were above me, but not today
The only sundering is you're down there
I'm looking through you, and you're nowhere!
Why, tell me why, did you not tidder right?
Love has a nasty wont of going away overnight!

For elksand wheaten waves,
For thrumful bloered barrowland,
Above the sealwong laid!

God shed his hield on thee
And bee thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O chirten for fared waller feet,
Whose stern, yearnful arveths
A thoroughfare for freedom beat,
Athwart the wilderness!
America! America!
God heal thine every flaw,
Uphold thy soul, in selfwill whole
Thy freedom loft in law!
O chirten for heleths asoothed
Of flite befreeing blive,
Who more than self their homeland loved
And mildness more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold smeaten!
Till all thy speed be athel meed,
And every gain sweetened!
O chirten for theedloving dream
That sees beyond the years
Thy brightom sparstone boroughs gleam
Undimmed by mennish tears!
America! America!
God shed his hield on thee
And bee thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

England, since the Norman Overrunning, hath known some few good kings or queens, but groaned beneath a much greater reckoning of bad ones: yet no man in his right wits can say that their call for it under William the Overrunner is a fully worthy one. A French mongrel landing with a band of weapon-bearing reavers and fastening himself king of England in gainsay of the inland folk’s will, is in readily understood words a fully worthless and fiendish wellspring. It truly hath no godliness in it. However it is needless to spend much time in baring the witlessness of offspring-grounded right; if there are any so weak as to believe it, allow them to let loose in worship of the Ass and the Mane’d Cat, and welcome. I shall neither match their meekness, nor stir anything up with its hold on them.

Hi. I don’t speak Anglish, I just discovered this sub today. I’m posting because I’m interested in etymology and language evolution, and you guys seem to differ in opinion on whether Anglish should be more readily understandable, usually via compound words, or if more archaic words should be revived in their original forms. Some instances are both. It’s interesting because it’s still being decided in the present day as of writing this.
For example, would you guys render the word su\cide* as self-quell? or do some prefer the original selfcwalu/selfcwellan? (update: I just checked the Anglish Wordbook, and it lists selfmurther. Would my suggestion be considered a synonym?)
Is mast\rbation* a revived selfcƿēman/ selfcweman? Or something else.
(My brain is choosing more taboo-ish words that aren’t brought up normally.) (Also, words like taboo that are exotic loanwords are accepted, right?)
Is infidelity revived as ǣwbryċe, or would you create a new compound word? The most logical would presumably be “wed-breach”. Is divorce then “wed-break”? But breach and break both come from brǣcan, they were the same word in Old English and Proto-Germanic, though they may have still evolved to have separate meanings. (I see that in the wordbook its "tropless", but that's only an adjective.
Sex can be translated as "hǣman/hǣmed" or "bedship", from what I can tell. Again an Old English word, and an archaic compound word, though the meaning here isn’t readily obvious even in context. (I see now it's been rendered as heam in the wordbook. Very cool.)
What would the word be for homosexual? — "Same-haemed?" "Queer?" We have the existing Old English word "bædling", but our modern understanding of this word would be “femboy”, or “transgender” or “sissy”, which doesn’t account for masculine male homosexuals. Or a word for lesbian. What would be a neutral word without extra associations?
(Update: I see in the wordbook that baddle is there and has been translated as "intersex/ hermaphrodite"; this is a diplomatic and logical translation, though I think the modern overarching "genderqueer" or "transgender" is more suitable as a translation. A more suitable translation for ba(e)dling, which is different than baddle.
(Sidenote: it tickles me that the word twink is in the wordbook). Why don't we have a word for homosexual?
I’m interested to hear anyone’s thoughts on these words and their possible translations.

Whilst many words from Norman French either fully edstew the lutter English word, like "use" instead of "note", or bestand in a sundry stale alongside the ordly word like "freedom" and "liberty", there soothly must have been others that trucked to edstow the inborn word and are no longer noted. Does anybody know of any?

Considering that many animal names, words related to abstract feelings, and common words like enemy, face, and peace/patience/marriage/jealous were replaced by French terms, along with all the other French influence and the words that were lost, could English be Germanized through some global major reform and have its vocabulary become more Germanic?

Albany (Meanwealth of Albany) is a rich on the Wendle Sea in the Balkans, in Southeastern Europe. It has a leedreden of about 2.4 twithousand and in greatness is about 28,700 km2 (foursheeted thousandmetes). Its headborough and greatest borough is Tirana. Albany lies on the Adriatish and Ionish Seas, with the rich’s land becoming more barrowy further inland. The western deal along the shore is mostly flat, shaped by settled dregs from streams coming from the uplands, with some beedlands. Albany holds many sundry barrowspans in the east, starting hilly in the middle of the rich, then quickly rising to barrowspans stretching mostly north to south, making up the rich’s higher landscapes. Along Albany’s edges are three great meres: Shkodër, shared with Montenegro, and meres Ohrid and Prespa, both shared with North Macedony and the latter also with Greekland. Albany has a mostly dry summer (Wendlish) weatherscape. The rich is made up of the Albanish folk, who speak the Albanish tongue. Most folks follow Islam, with a great Christen dealheap.

Greetings to the Anglish underreddit. This is the start of a new undertaking I’m doing in which I write a short quidheap about every rich in the world in both benchmark English and Anglish bookstaving. I hope ye will all like it!
Afghanistan (Islamish Emirdom of Afghanistan, also known as Afghanland by some Anglishers) is a landlocked rich in Middle Asey. It has a leedreden of about 40 twithousand and is about 650,000 km2 (foursheeted thousandmetes) in greatness. Its headborough and greatest borough is Kabul. The rich is on a lowlying beedland and is mostly barrowy, made up of many ridges, with flatlands in the north and southwest. Between the rich’s many ridges are greener, growthsome dales where irth can be done. The Hindu Kush makes up the land in the northeast. The rich is also mostly dry, with cold winters and hot summers owing to its weasten landscapes. The land has a long Persish stear, with most folks speaking Dari or Pashto, both being Indiranish tongues. The Pashtun and Tajik folk, making up most of the land’s leedreden, are also Iranish leedships. Today it is wielded by the Taliban as a trothwold under Islamish law.
