I made this community because I've been using the anglish dictionary for a while now, and I felt it was nice to have a spot to post about anglish if I wanted to raise some opinions about one thing or another.

On the other side, I haven't read much anglish, so I don't have a flow with the language.

I have been part of the telegram group, but I left it after the core left.

Otherwise I feel like anglish has an easy time attracting fascists. but I will be very clear that they are not welcome here.

Like... Dutch?

I don't know dutch that well, but I've heard that Northern Frisian is the language that is most similar to modern day english given their shared roots.

Funnily enough, the North Frisians not only share the roots of their language with the English, but also the habit of elaborate daily rituals involving black tea ;-)

I guess if you removed all the foreign words and influences added over the centuries and reduced it to its most fundamental origins, the result would be very similar to a mixture of Dutch and some Norther German Frisian dialect.
So: Yeah.
