==Vocabulary==

Anglian's vocabulary is very much romance and has had a great deal of language purity.

==Grammar==
Anglian grammar has evolved greatly from that of Latin, and is similar to that of [[w:Germanic_languages|Germanic languages]]. Anglian is a moderaly Synthetic language. [[w:adjective|Adjectives]] and some [[w:pronoun|pronouns]] are inflected for [[w:Grammatical_number|number]] (singular and plural); [[w:Noun|nouns]], [[w:personal_pronoun|personal pronouns]] and some pronouns are inflected for [[w:grammatical_person|person]], [[w:grammatical_gender|gender]], number and [[w:grammatical_case|case]]; and [[verb]]s, for [[grammatical tense|tense]], [[w:Grammatical_aspect|aspect]], [[w:grammatical_mood|mood]], and the person and number of their [[w:subject_(grammar)|subjects]]. Certain verb features are marked using [[w:auxiliary_verb|auxiliary verbs]].

===Nouns===
Anglian [[noun]]s have one of two genders (masculine or feminine) that must be learned together with the word, there ther are some patterns one could learn, which are 
*nouns ending in -a are masculine, unlike most other romance languages

They are inflected for two numbers (singular and plural) and for case (nominative and genitive).
A regular Anglian noun belongs to one of four main declensions, a group of nouns with similar inflected forms. The declensions are identified by the Nomitive singular form of the noun.

====First declension====
The '''first declension''' is the second largest of the declensions. It contains almost exclusively feminine nouns . It is characterized by a nominative singular -Ø and is mainly descended from the Latin first and fifth declension, as well as from many neuter nouns.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
