Alternative English

General information
Alternative English (Oðer Englisc) is a Germanic tongue descended from Old English in a world where the Norman conquest of 1066 failed and where there was therefore a much reduced influence of French upon the language. This manifests itself in a greater Germanic portion of the wordstock, the preservation of a second person singular and a more (though still not entirely) regular orthography, amongst others. Moreover greater verbal inflection is found, along with a more conservative article system that is more akin to Modern German's.

Alphabet
Alternative English is written like its real-world counterpart in the Roman Alphabet, although there are several variations.
 * - e is pronounced [ ə] when it is word-final, unless it is lengething the previous vowel.

Verbs
Verbs are conjugated with somewhat more inflection than modern English verbs. Due to the continued usage of þou, the '-est' ending is not at all archaic, whilst the plural ending of '-en' has equally been retained (as well as marking the infinitive).
