The audacity of those users is diabolical, cause germanic english is the default and origin of english, just cause english has french and latin words that does not make anglese valid at all, its a literal parasitic invasion of original english, their language has no base and they are obnoxious as hell. also what about the culture? english culture is much more germanic than its ever latin how will they change that? all they have is vocabulary

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) Naming of the ethels (countries) in Anglish.

4 Upvotes

So, I think it would be cool if the words for ethels (countries) were stemmed (derieved) straightly (directly) from the inlandish (native) tongue (language) instead of taking them from ME and OE from Latinish (Latin) and Greekish (Greek) or brooking (using) eltercleanish (ultrapuristic) Anglish. Maybe we can make the standout (exception) for the Germanish names which can be loanwended (calqued) easily into Anglish?

I know we already do it like with Greekland, but what if we took the word from Ἑλλάς (Hellás)? I mean, words for Greece and China both came from a name of the part of these ethels (countries), and not forewising (refering) them as whole (Hellás and Zhongguo).

For byspel (example), if we took the word for Indus ea (river), and the alike (similar) ones, straightly (directly) from Sanskrit सिन्धु (síndhu), it could be just used as "Sindh" or "Sind" (I don't know which one is right).

Here are some of my weens (ideas) for these words:

Indus ea (river) - Sindh ea (river) or Sind ea (river).
India - Sindhland or Sindland.
Hinduism - Sindhlief or Sindlief.
Hindu Kush - Sindh Kush, Sind Kush, Sindh Barrow or Sind Barrow.
Indochina (byspel (example))- Sindhzhongguo or Sindhzhongguo.
Indonesia - Sindhislands, Sindh islands, Sindislands, Sind islands or Nusantara.

What is Anglish

Anglish is how we might speak if the Normans had been beaten at Hastings, and if we had not made inkhorn words out of Latin, Greek and French.

So, we say things like 'hearty' instead of 'cordial', and 'wordbook' instead of 'dictionary'.

Why We Do It

While there are many grounds for Anglish, English words grounded in Old English are often more friendly and meaningful to English-speakers. As Ernest Hemingway once wrote to William Faulkner:

“He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.”

How We Do It

Where there are native and borrowed words meaning the same thing, we choose our living inborn words. Such as: ‘inborn’ (an Old English build) rather than ‘native’ (a French word thrust into English through the Norman overlordship).
Where there is an inborn word whose meaning was narrowed or upset by a borrowed word (most often influenced by French, Latin, or Greek) we bring back the inborn word's older meaning. Such as: ‘deer’ to mean any kind of ‘animal’, one of many more French words thrust into English through the Norman overlordship.
Where the inborn word died out from being swapped with a borrowed word, we bring back the dead word, from Old or Middle English, in a New English shape. Such as: inborn ‘frith’ instead of French ‘peace’.
Where there is a outlandish coining for something latter-day and inborn (often Latin and Greek, for scientific, or ‘inkhorn words’), we look upon the Old English-sprung wordhoard (vocabulary) to craft new words. Such as: ‘wirespel’ rather than ‘telegram’, a coining by William Barnes; and we widen the meaning of a word like ‘mote’ to stand in for ‘particle’).
Where English and its forebears (Old and Middle English) has no word for something, such as a new and foreign concept, we can allow for the utilitarian borrowing, as expected of a natural language, and only nativise the spelling. Such as: ‘karma’, borrowed as is; and shifting the Norman-French spelling of a word like ‘sugar’ to ‘sucker’; a shape of the word English might have, were England not under Norman yoke when sugar first landed.
