While I like the idea, that's something close to impossible, it's probably more feasible that we all learn to speak Esperanto. In addition, modern English has become the dominant language where every language pretty much borrows from English, that not even the French or Chinese languages are safe. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and I would advocate for Anglish to be learned, I speak a few languages and language has always fascinated me at an early age. Interesting article and I had never heard of Anglish before.
Not everyone on earth has to learn a language in order for it to be considered alive or thriving. There are already thousands of Anglishers, I see no reason this couldn't become millions.
You'll see that Mandarin is the language with the least amount of English loanwords. There's like sanminzhi (sandwich) and basi (bus) but for the most part they're doing really well!!
@Rolando_Cueva I think it also has to do with the type of language that Mandarin is, as there already set rules/characters for each word and how to create words. The best thing that Mandarin can do is borrow words through sounds. But what about the languages concentrated in that area? Which languages has Mandarin borrowed from through the ages that it has been in existence? Let's not forget that there are many languages spoken in China and I even think that standard Mandarin is comprised of those many languages, don't quote me on that. What argument I'm trying to make is that it is close to impossible to keep a language pure, as history has demonstrated that cultures and languages have been borrowing from each ever since like forever, especially the neighboring regions. In fact I believe that the more words a language borrows and "makes it its own", the more complex, sophisticated, influential, and powerful it becomes, and I believe English has been one of the few to do this successfully. If I say, I have explained it to you ad nauseam, it makes me sound snobbish all of a sudden, versus if I just say, I'm sick and tired if explaining it to you. However there is something very beautiful and sophisticated about Anglish and how it sounds, based on some samples this user has created for us.
A way of making English easier to learn and understand? Sounds great! Let's see what Anglishers are saying... Brook... Wend... Thorn eth ash... Runes... Theedish... Wtf this ain't it, is there an offshoot of Anglish that excludes people who take it too far?
Thank God this is happening. Im really sick of this Greek and French in English that I have no thoughts of what it means and neither do I care to speak it. I believe after the battle of Hastings the french language was seen as superior to English. So I think cleaning up English is a good thought to have, I thring everyone of English blood to do the same. However I think bringing back the superior tones of pure English (some may say old English) is a must have in this day and time. I think anglish is a step to get there. Please link yourselves back to your ancestors it's very important though some have tried to convince others that your ancestors are not important. I ask them then "how did we get here if our ancestors did not survive for us." I'm not English but I like the reord and that link to speak to your ancestors is lost as of now for the English.
Great points! Hopefully, Anglish will gain steam and make a difference.
I like this idea, let's try to spread Anglish everywhere. I've shared this video with a few groups on telegram.
I agree with all the aforesaid and it's good fun also.
Well spoken ❤
I am very interested...
cool
👍
