It is great that the folk here can speak working with English only words, however what
will we do when we talk about the hard things! This is one of the headaches when speaking without words of a not-Germanic beginning. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Can we speak with Latin words that were in Old English?
(Old Norse is better anyways.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I find it wonderworthy that it is here, at this place of learning many outland tongues, that folk would strive to undo the work brought forth by the mixing of tongues over time. However I think it is a work befitting us quick-witted folk.
Please do tell me if somewhere in this writing I came upon an outland word and did not see it for what it truly was. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

I'm glad to see that we can write so much in our tongue without need of outland words!
Besides, looking online for the words we want to write is a fun way to learn their roots. I find that my knowledge of the High Dutch tongue helps me to tell which words are good, but I think my work would be faster if I knew French or one of its kinstongues, so that I'd know which words I can't write. I hope to get better at Anglish soon. Let's keep at it! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

When talking about hard things, we must make new words in the Teutonic ("German" is from the Latin "Germania" so I think we must say Teutonic) way: Hospital (from Latin hospitalis) would be sickhouse (Teutonic: Krankenhaus; Dutch: Ziekenhuis). abbreviation (from Latin abbreviation) would be forshortening (Teutonic: Verkürzung, Abkürzung; Dutch: afkorting) asf. (and so forth).
I would say that we should not wield any words which we know come from the Latin tongue even if they were wielded in Old English.
Yes indeed, for me knowing both the Latin and Teutonic kinstongues helps me to know which words to wield as well as which to eschew. Edited by JW on 13 April 2011 at 5:13pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Here is a beautiful reading in Anglish. I only had to swap a few words which I did wielding my knowledge of the Greek tongue (they are in bold):
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and without Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it. 6There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness, to give a good report about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8He was not the Light, but he came to bear witness about the Light. 9There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11He came to His own, and those who were His own did not take Him. 12But as many as took Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
