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.

anglish is not my initiative.

OK.

I think the word wine is poetic so I don’t have much against it. I’d say my vision is to make a language more poetic, and anglish is in that direction.

I just used it as an example as not only the word for wine comes from Latin but also wine itself.

English is a germanic language and has grammar deriving from it’s germanic roots (that is what I have been told at least). But it has a great amount of latin/greek words.

Yep, according to this wikipedia I misremembered something there.
