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.

Interesting chart, which apparently only accounts for borrowed words. I would like to see a pie chart that includes Anglish to show the words invented with no orgin. Though I suppose it’s tricky because every region that has many English speakers would have their own inventory of homebrew words (Scotland, UK, USA, Australia, NZ, Canada, and even China and India). And there is no Academy Français equivalent to English.. ppl just using slang until it becomes widespread enough for a dictionary to include it. Nothing official.
