I'm not as autistic as Anglish retards but I try to use colloquial words/phrases as much as possible(hell-bent instead of committed and stubborn, neck and neck instead of closely contested etc) and try to limit my high register vocab.

Was I in a discord server with you, wherein you would release your own online newspaper called the Anglish Times? Which was just a paragraph on a boring story?

We should go back further, and resume speaking German. It is a better language and most apt for philosophy, science and art.

>>21499562
I do laud Anglish as an undertaking at least, but you look like an utter dolt writing it. First learn how to write it, then tout it.
>over the yearhundreds
What in the world? Just say "over hundreds of years". This reads like you just wrote your post in New English and then swapped out the borrowings.

You sound like niggers speaking a pidgin.

>>21500075
modern english is already a pidgin, so it's in theme

>>21500091
So is Anglish, what is your point?

>>21500100
I was agreeing with you, you autistic retard.

>>21499986
Retard, that's an actual Anglo-Saxon word. It's due to people like you English became morphologically impoverished.

>>21500104
You're really outing yourself as a monolingual mutt with this post, anon. You can't just translate word by word and expect it to sound natural.

>>21500100
At least Anglish doesn't have to larp as latin and french.
Even big words are readily apparent in Anglish because the root words are Anglo-Saxon rather than French or Greek or Latin.

>>21500115
It's not a translation

>>21499562
Hwaet. A wulderous undertaking. Not at all autistic. Cheerio!

>>21500116
>Anglo-Saxon

If only there was some way we could go further back and keep the language even more refined and without addition of others.

Why don't you just learn OE?

>>21499562
YEAH IMAGINE HOW BAD IT WOULD BE IF PEOPLE INVADED AND STOLE ALL YOUR LAND AND MADE YOU INTO A RACIAL UNDERCLASS AND DESTROYED YOUR LANGUAGE?

break the cycle England.

Because I want to visit Germany and read the old prose in as raw form as possible and talk with locals. I assume OE is Old English, who would I talk to with that, or what would I read?

>Because I want to visit Germany and read the old prose in as raw form as possible and talk with locals.
A good reason (OE is an absolute waste of time, just that OE is, of course, closer to OE than German is), but Germans will almost always insist on speaking English. You've got to be really stubborn to make them start speaking German. That, or act like you don't speak English. I'm sure you've already prepared yourself for that, though.

The man had never seen a spot as great as the big city. As he walked through the trodden down floor, he was overcome with awe at the high buildings that seemed to reach up to the sky. Everywhere he looked, there were folk rushing about, all with aim and leading. The man had never felt so small and not following in all his life. He stood for a time, taking it all in, before shaking his head and going on his way. He knew that he had much to learn in this new and unknown spot

About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a killer for a high-minded writing style.

translated Lolita's intro to 95% Anglish. The remaining 5% doesn't require translation.

Cool. Now stop using the Latin alphabet. Why should the purism there?

>>21500416
Why should the purism stop there?*

>>21500416
The alphabet originated from Phoenicians. The Alphabet is just a kind of technology and it aids the language to find its way through new mediums, to expand its influence. I am not autistic enough to can't tell the difference between writing systems and the actual language.

>>21500498
Language is also technology.

>>21500514
Yes but not the same kind of technology as the alphabet. It's just a medium of representing any language. It's a primitive way of recording speech, capturing it through some other medium.

>>21500115
It's precisely you who's outing yourself as a monolingual mutt. Languages have single words for "century", like "Jahrhundert" in German. This would have been yearhundred in English if the word "century" wasn't used. That's the whole point of Anglish, to make use of words that English WOULD have had if not for Romance influence. It's not supposed to sound "nice" to a monolingual English speaker like yourself. You fucking bellend

someone in here ever read Uncleftish Beholding?

>>21500901
You've been learning German for two months and for some reason think you can extrapolate all of that knowledge onto English as well. The word 'Yearhundred' is not anywhere attested to have been used in the Noun Phrase OP used. 'Adapting' it to be used in that way is no better than replacing 'a' or 'o' with 'x' and creating 'Latinx'. In fact, it's really no better than any other bogus word, like 'Homophobia'.

En le anne 1066 Guillaume le conqueror et ses accompanying Normans invaded Anglia, defeated le Anglo-Saxons, et installed un nev, Francophone government. Because ce, French vocables ont ete introduced en Engles during centuries, frequentment replacing native vocables en similar signification.

>>21502169

>>21499562
English is already something new from Germanic languages because of its extreme analytic bent. Without norman conquest we would still have the inflections and shit of old english so you can’t revert or make it pure germanic just by only using german words.

>>21502192
They will never do this, because it takes too much work.

>>21499562
That's fucking stupid, most Germanic languages had Latin loanwords anyway.

>>21499562
Reminder that everytime you say "beef" instead of "cow" or "pork" instead of "pig" you're de facto bowing to William the Conqydonquerer.

>In the year 1066 William the Misbegotten and his fellow Normans stormed into England, took wald from the Angle-Saxan, and set up a new, French-speaking lordship.
Firsty,
Willum the Black was a Baltic Norseman from the Estonian colonies of the Jutes (Precum-Danish) who had taken over the Roman Port towns along the Gallic strait of Dubris and effectively held the colon of trade clenched in a tight fist. The overlords of Gallia, the feeble Germanic horde called 'Franks', couldn't cope with what Willum was able to deliver onto them and gave up Northern Gallia to him and his without any resistance. In Romano-Britannia at this time, the population of Enguerand (a name and a word meaning 'nose like a crows beak', were a mixture of Romans and natives, sadly earlier efforts to pacify Crowland and the regions around it had disarmed the locals and rendered them rather unfit to wage war, this led to them being plundered by all parties around them, even the Scots of Ireland, and then, most shamefully, the Jutes of Saxonia (predum Danish) and these people were toughish but weak and lazy, and despite managing to kick the face off of a literal VARANGIAN GUARDSMAN and his hirdmen (I mean Harald), were no match for what Willum could deliver to them either.

In short, neither William nor the Franks wee speaking French and the 'English' (whatever was left of them) had long since retreated to Wale and Bretagne before the Saxons showed up, and so weren't speaking English either.

Juto-Frankish rabble killing Juto-Frankish rabble, in other words. This, to a civilized Man, is no more a disturbance than to hear of cannibal tribes eating each other.

No, the alphabet originated from the Greeks. The Greeks modified the Phoenician variant of the Semitic abjad, creating the alphabet. Alphabetics cannot be said to come from anywhere except Greece.

>>21502192
Unlikely. Inflected suffixes were being ground down even before the Norman showed up (in like half of all OE declensions the accusative and nominative are identical, and the dative and instrumental are already blurring). I say we just immanetize the eschaton and make English into a language with polypersonal verbs before the Frogs/Dagos/Wops admit that they're already doing it. Itwould notbeit hard todoit, just stickit a pronoun for the subject ("Iam autistic") and one for the object ("Ihaveit the 'tism") onto every verb. Eventually, prepositions they willmerge with nouns and we'll haveit a new case system, but /lit/ isn't ready for that.

>>21499562
the amount of dead/non-fruitful syllables in Romance-English is staggering

what's an Anglish word for syllable?
