Anglish is a form of linguistic purism in English which favours words of Germanic origin over those of Romance and Greek origin. The earliest form of English emerged during the 5th century, when Germanic-speaking tribes migrated to Britain and eventually established the Kingdom of England. Following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, the language borrowed extensively from Norman and other Romance languages.

  • Anglish is a form of linguistic purism in English which favours words of Germanic origin over those of Romance and Greek origin. The earliest form of English emerged during the 5th century, when Germanic-speaking tribes migrated to Britain and eventually established the Kingdom of England. Following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, the language borrowed extensively from Norman and other Romance languages. Anglish is thus an attempt to "revitalise" the Germanic elements of English, or to "purify" it of non-Germanic elements. This is achieved by using the Germanic equivalents of Romance words ("ask" rather than "inquire"), by resurrecting archaic words ("abede" rather than "announce"), and sometimes by using neologisms ("aftertale" rather than "epilogue").
  • Anglish es un tipo de escritura constreñida en inglés, en el cual las palabras derivadas del griego, latín, y lenguas romances se reemplazan con palabras derivadas de lenguas germánicas. En algunas ocasiones esto se consigue empleando sinónimos y en otras neologismos. En el primer caso, el Anglish se comporta como el inglés oficial.
  • アングリッシュ(Anglish)は英語の一種で、フランス語、ラテン語、ギリシア語等の歴史的な借用語を取り除きゲルマン語に由来する単語に置き換えた英語。言語純化運動の一環として散発的に試みられている。
