I am all for an anglish rebirth. I have been into this subject for a long time since finding out about Old English and studying it, together with Latin. I was astonished to find how much the heart of the English speech was ripped out after 1066. I read books written by William Barnes (who I recommend for all anglish readers [he was a Victorian teacher who often fought against the tide of modern Latinisation]) who made fine Anglish words and promoted their worth as a return to the soul of the language [why not 'starlore' for astronomy, or lifelore for biology, sundry for different; he made many of these simple but pretty word-swaps].

Furthermore, for the people who seem to think this is a pathetic, sad undertaking I would point them to take a look at our European neighbours. Many have academies that are becoming increasingly resistant to foreign borrowings. If they can do it why can't we? My G/F is Spanish and I am surprised and intregued by the Real Academia's ability to find Spanish (latinate) alternatives to words (many modern English words which are technological and scientific due to recently being discovered) in an attempted to keep the Spanish language 'Spanish'.

What does english do? Just blithely go with the flow until English is a mere jumbled mess with no soul? Then when English loses its Global power we will be left with a broken language.

Help enliven the speech of our forefathers and re-find our roots and be proud of our folkland once again.
