The Anglish Language Thread | Ðe Anglisc Tung Þred

Postby The New Sea Territory » Tue Dec 06, 2016 7:25 pm

English as a Germanic Language.

Hál! Ƿelcýme tœ ðe Anglisc Tung Þred, a plæse tœ speak ƿiþout our tung inheld by ðose ƿords of tungs farborn. Ƿiðin Ancƿe, oðerƿise cnoƿn as mean 'Ænglisc', are farborn ƿords ƿiþ Romisc forekind. Ðe tung has been o´ertæken by these children tungs of Romiscland fœr many ᵹearhundreds.

For me, á eiþer cnoƿ or ƿant tœ cnoƿ hoƿ tœ speak in Russisc, Ukrænisc and Romisc. Tung learning has becýme me doing. Since á onlook ashapen tungs like ðose of Tolkien, and me trueborn tung is Ænglisc, á ƿas betaken tœ þrasc out a þred set by for ðe speaking of Anglisc. But á ne´er wónt eiþur ðis þred or Anglisc cross-spelling tœ be about flagƿæving and heteniþ tœ oðer þeods.

Translation:

"Hello! Welcome to the Anglish Language Thread, a place to speak without words of foriegn origin. Within Ancwe, otherwise known as normal "English", are foreign words of Roman (Latin) origin. The language has been overtaken by the Romance languages for many centuries.

For me, I either know or am learning how to speak in Russian, Ukrainian and Latin. Language learning has become a hobby of mine. Since I admire conlangs like those of Tolkien, and my native language is English, I decided to start a thread for speaking Anglish. But I never want either this thread or Anglish language creation to be about nationalism and hatred of other nations."




What is Anglish? Well, it's modern English if it were actually a Germanic language. Nothing surrounding grammar really changes, but the vocabulary is about 50% different to cut out all the Romance and Greek loanwords. It's trying to speak using mostly Anglo-Saxon but sometimes more broadly Germanic language influences.

Do note, you don't have to type like I did up there unless you want to. You can just type with a regular English keyboard. I used an Icelandic keyboard and copy-pasted the wynn and oe letters in from wiktionary. Those two letters are not as commonly used in Anglish from what I've seen, but the others are, so I suggest using the Icelandic keyboard. It can also be written using Anglo-Frisian runes.

This conlang is all around fun to use.

r/anglish and the Anglish moot are good sources for understanding the language.

I'm reminded of a David Starkey documentary in which Beowulf is read in a similar cadence as what this language sounds like to me. :p

Is it right to foreseek on Anglisc on the grounds of what I know from the tung of Svea Rike and likened tungs? Or is it unlike?

Is it okay to attempt Anglish based on what I know from Swedish and similar (i.e. Scandinavian) languages? Or is it different?

Ðe Anglisc tung is likekind a Þeedish tung, but it is likely closer tœ Newfangled Ænglish.

Is this a RL spoken language by anybody? Or is it more of a conlang based on English?

Edit: Also, The New Sea Territory, do not quadruple post.

It's blurring the lines between a conlang and a purist movement within English.

Alright, not a real language then.

An appeal can be done in the moderation forum.
