So here's my take on an "Anglish". I've constructed an English similar to modern English, except without the influence of Latin and French. I also tried to put West Germanic cognates in place of present North Germanic cognates. I want to know how intelligible this is to Germanic-speaking people (including English speakers).
Ure faðer hwer is in heven, gehæligd bi ðin name, mag ðin coningrice come and ðin willen bi dan, on Erþ as it is in heven. Giv to us ðis dæg ure dæglig breað, and forgiv us of ure sinnen as we haven also forgeven ðos hwer gesinnen against us. And læd us noht into forsecing, buten lysen us from yvil. Amen.

IPA: a = [ɑ] æ = [æ] b = [b] c = [k] d = [d] ð = [ð] e = [e] e at the end of a word = [ə] er = [ər] f = [f] þ = [þ] g = [g] h = [h] h before consonant = [x] i = [i] j = [j] l = [l] m = [m] n = [n] o = [o] o = [o] p = [p] r = [r] s = [s] t = [t] u = [ʊ] v = [v] w = [w] y = [u] z = [z]
Like modern English, there are no long consonants in this.

ai = [ei] ei = [ɑi] Raped the Anglos in 1066 sure, but came begging to the Anglos every time from that point forth.

>came begging to the Anglos Nice delusion but it isn't real
Lucas Young
Well, since i recognized the text, it was pretty easy to guess what the words meant
Elijah Morgan
> without latin and French What's the point?

If you say so.
Colton Hughes
so the language has no grammatical cases?
Daniel Kelly
Modern English has grammatical cases though, that sentence showcases the dative case (same inflection as accusative case). Germanic inflection is really unintuitive anyways so English made the right call by developing a simpler case system.

That looks cool I'm glad you guys are starting to use your real language. I would be mad if I had to use the words of a people I hate.
Eli Peterson
Yes I agree, a language shouldn't be unnecessary complicated

what's the difference between ð and þ again? I know they're both the "th" sound but I forgot how each of them are pronounced
Ryder Adams
>I've no nigger you are be stelin those ideas and that aint cool
Samuel Brooks
ð is the voiced dental fricative (th in "that") and þ is the unvoiced dental fricative (th in thing). The difference between them is like the difference between v and f.

>I've constructed No, Anglish is already a thing since a long time faggot
Sebastian Scott
English has barely any contractions compared to other languages like French or German.
Austin Walker
what the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about Anglish, you did not construct it, it already exist since quite a while
Luke Peterson
only 30% of people from the british isles are anglo-saxon
deal with it
Nathaniel Lee
My bad, I skimmed over the posts and thought you two were complaining about my use of "I've" since a lot of English speakers take issue with contractions being "unsophisticated" and a lot of foreigners take issue with learning the contractions. Anyways, I didn't say I created Anglish, I said here's my take on "an 'Anglish'". Note the indefinite article.

what the fuck are you talking about nigger I AM TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE STOLEN THIS IDEA IT IS NOT YOURS YOU FUCKING FUCKHEAD

Also linguistics =/= genetics, and correct me if I'm wrong, but OP has made no assertions about the genetics of Anglo people, but rather has simply taken a deeper look into the English language.
