Purpose
Aenglish is supposed to be a representation of what Modern English might have looked like if the Invasion of England by William the Conqueror (1066 CE) didn't happen and French had not influenced Old English.

Consonant Allophones
Notes: allophones are written in brackets(). The allophones are as following:
- /ŋ/ is an allophone that occurs when /n/ and a velar sound are adjacent to each other (much like in Modern English).
- /ɣ/ is an allophone of /g/ when /g/ is between two voiced vowels.
- /ð/ and /θ/ are completely interchangeable, /θ/ is pronounced /ð/ when between two vowels or adjacent to a voiced consonant.
- Same rules apply to /v/ which is an allophone of /f/ when between two vowels or adjacent to a voiced consonant.
Vowels

|---|---|---|
| Close | [i] , [ɪ], [y] | [u], [ʊ] |
| Mid | [e], [ɛ] | [o] |

Stress Rule
In Aenglish there is a consistent stress rule (much like Old English). The only exceptions were loanwords from Latin and Old Norse and etc. the rule is as follows: the first syllable is always stressed unless its a prefix in which case, the first 'non-prefixed' syllable is stressed.
