It kinda gives you an idea of how the English language would have evolved without the influence of other languages, particularly non-Germanic ones like Latin, French, and Greek.

English is one of the most different Germanic languages because of this vocabulary, and "Anglish" makes it seem a lot more like the others.

Here's an example in text:
https://www.languagetrainers.com/blog/2012/01/17/anglish-english-without-all-the-borrowed-words/

The Banded Folkdoms of Americksland (BFA) is the most dwelt-in land in the landstretch of North Americksland. Its makeup is that of an evenly banded rike, with three branches of rike: the Leaderly, the Lawmootly, and the Lawlordly. The foremost tongue in the land is English, though some Spanish is spoken also.

Americksland, its shortened name, has the greatest landgeld and warband in the world, and is thought to be the worlds lone overrike, since the fall of the Band of Workermootly Kithish Commonwealths (BWKC).

Americksland was banded with England until the Americkish Uprising, which began with the Saying Forth of the Selfhood of the Banded Folkdoms of Americksland in 1776. Americksland has since fought other wars, namely: the War of 1812, its war with Mexico, the Americkish Kith War, its war with Spain, and the two World Wars.

First off, there are an extremely small number of actual differences between British English and the other major dialects. It's 90% accent, 9% vocabulary and spelling, and a tiny 1% of actual grammar and syntax differences ("the band are" vs "the band is", "in hospital" vs "in the hospital")

Secondly, British English is a mostly newer set of dialects than North American English. What they speak now is further from "the original" than what Americans and Canadians speak. But that's also a moot concept, considering the language was constantly evolving and the only "original" here is Old English from like 1,500 years ago.

And third, the only languages that are "invented" are Esperanto and fictional languages like Klingon.

Are you going to address the fact that the oldest form of what we know as English was brought to Britain by Germanic tribes and was not "invented by the British"

In a relatively tangential sense, Orwell also praised the virtues of simple, everyday English in communications in an essay he wrote titled Politics and the English Language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_and_the_English_Language

(though it's not specifically about Anglish, it's slightly related and fun).

The idea of a purely or primarily Germanic English has been around far longer than the concept of fascism.

Anyways, the whole concept is pretty silly and entirely ignorant of how languages work and develop, even if it is a slightly interesting though experiment.

How? All the influences on the language are from other white people. With the influences or without them it's still a European language.

So? Germans aren't allowed to like their ancestry and culture? Just cause someone is proud of their heratige doesn't make them a white supremacist

Shut the actual fuck up.

A) You don't know what Germanic means
B) Most Germans would hate your guts seeing as you're a racist who's been repeatedly banned for posting swastikas

isn't the idea of excising all Latin influence from English political to begin with?


Maybe if it was 1518 instead of 2018

It's just an interesting exercise.

The early version of Old Norse had that, and Icelandic is the closest living language to it, although it's now Latin alphabet of course.
