About Anglian/Yeloweathrish
Arhet Discription
Yeloweathrish is the offical language of Norþweadriċa, a nation in southern Aretia. It is a somewhat small country, It only has one (developed) neighbour, Sūþweadric the Old English country. Yeloweathrish or Ġealowēaþrisċ comes from Ġealo and Wēaþrisċ. Ġealo comes from Latin gallus (gaul) and Wēaþrisċ is unknown (blame Bealdbeorn), probable the Arhetian name for the Anglo-Saxons.
Nearly every "What if English was a romance language" starts directly in Britain, which seems logical, until you realize that English wasn't even spoken here at the time. So I thought, "What if the Romans took over Anglia?"
- It must possess both the appearance and phonetics reminiscent of Old English;
- Whenever feasible, a Romance origin is preferred for word choices;
- Aesthetic considerations may take precedence over strict adherence to linguistic purism;
- All Latinate borrowings in Old English are taken verbatim into Ǣnglean;
- Grimm's law is applied in Vulgar Latin-Anglish words (pods. foot; tu, thou; frater, brother)
With this rules applied and gradually refined, Anglian now has
- Pseudo Old English orthography
- 2 genders
- preserved the genitive case from Latin
- no articles
