I would consider myself a proponent of Anglish and the Wikia is a crappy pet project by a tiny group of people with terrible ideas

2018-11-10 20:02:48 UTC  

Make it at least 2 genders like Dutch

2018-11-10 20:02:51 UTC  

They have de and het

2018-11-10 20:03:09 UTC  

Ænglisc had se, seo, þæt

2018-11-10 20:03:13 UTC  

Then learn old English. English can drop foreign vocabulary and resurrect some old but it can't go back to declension

2018-11-10 20:03:35 UTC  

So Anglish would basically be Afrikaans then?

2018-11-10 20:04:13 UTC  

West Germanic language with no declensions

2018-11-10 20:04:29 UTC  

No genders, no cases

2018-11-10 20:04:34 UTC  

Iirc not even verb conjugations

2018-11-10 20:04:40 UTC  

No

2018-11-10 20:04:53 UTC  

Scandinavian languages have dropped verb conjugations as well from what I've seen

2018-11-10 20:04:53 UTC  

Or everyone could just be required to learn latin so we don't need to worry about bringing back old english.

2018-11-10 20:05:03 UTC  

Jag heter, du heter, han heter, etc.

2018-11-10 20:05:04 UTC  

Anglish would be what English is, but dropping French and Latin words and preferring Germanic words

2018-11-10 20:05:11 UTC  

It worked well for a long time.

2018-11-10 20:05:47 UTC  

Yeah but without a revival of gender and/or cases and verb conjugations, you basically have something similar to Afrikaans

2018-11-10 20:05:54 UTC  

Hardly

2018-11-10 20:06:02 UTC  

English itself is nothing like Afrikaans

2018-11-10 20:06:07 UTC  

A West Germanic language with a ridiculously simple grammar

2018-11-10 20:06:19 UTC  

English already has simple grammar

2018-11-10 20:06:29 UTC  

Dutch may have lost cases but at least retains 2 genders

2018-11-10 20:06:33 UTC  

De and het

2018-11-10 20:06:42 UTC  

nigga you speak English

2018-11-10 20:07:04 UTC  

Anglish is as simple as saying middle instead of center and stuff like that

2018-11-10 20:07:11 UTC  

Tung instead of tongue

2018-11-10 20:07:22 UTC  

Headman instead of captain

2018-11-10 20:07:25 UTC  

Or tung/tongue instead of language

2018-11-10 20:07:37 UTC  

Or speak

2018-11-10 20:08:00 UTC  

At the very least, can we revive the genitive

2018-11-10 20:08:10 UTC  

We have a semi genitive

2018-11-10 20:08:12 UTC  

And reform the plural system to a Germanic one

2018-11-10 20:08:16 UTC  

It is marked by 's

2018-11-10 20:08:23 UTC  

True

2018-11-10 20:08:46 UTC  

Our current plural system is too similar to the genitive marking

2018-11-10 20:08:55 UTC  

Not necessarily

2018-11-10 20:08:58 UTC  

>-s makes plural

2018-11-10 20:09:04 UTC  

NiBBa wat

2018-11-10 20:09:07 UTC  

Only retards confuse things like its and it's

2018-11-10 20:09:44 UTC  

I'm not 100% sure where -s plural comes from but it looks like a Latin feature to me

2018-11-10 20:09:46 UTC  

And there are some words that have different plural forms, although they are becoming archaic - brothers, brethren

2018-11-10 20:09:53 UTC  

Lmao no
