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. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pure English is British English because they invented the damn language... 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. ... Copied to Clipboard!

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
