Anglish

Setting
Anglish is a form of Northern English with ancient features. Due to writing, spelling and pronunciation reforms, it adopts some modern spellings but retains a strict phonetic pronunciation and preserves ancient phonems lost in modern English. It also retains altered/simplified form of the Germanic declension and conjugation systems. Vocabulary wise, indistinct from formal English except for Northern colloquialisms and preserved ancient Germanic vocabulary lost in modern English. All in all, it can be said to be parallel to Icelandic or Faroese among Nordic languages.

And palmeres for ta seeken strangens strandens,

Ta faremis away shrinemis, ge-knowen in sundrighemis landemis;

And specially from everighis shire's endi

Of Angelandi and Scotlandi dhey wend...
