The name "Annerish" is derived simply from a combination of the endonym ''[[Contionary:Annr#Anrish|Annr]]'', whose origin is disputed, + -ish in English. Similarly, the native term for "the Anneries" - ''ın Annray'' derives from a compound with Old Norse [[:wikt:ey#Old_Norse|ey]], translating to "the Annerish islands". | The name "Annerish" is derived simply from a combination of the endonym ''[[Contionary:Annr#Anrish|Annr]]'', whose origin is disputed, + -ish in English.

Many characteristic features of [[:w:Common_Brittonic|Brythonic]] and Goidelic languages are shared with the Annerish language, which has previously been regarded as Celtic. True classification has also been obscured by the crucial lack of [[:w:Verner%27s_law|Verner's law]], along with sweeping sound changes by analogy with the mutation strategies of the dominant languages that reverse some of the effects of [[:w:Grimm%27s_law|Grimm's law]], though notably not in reflexes of *hw- and *þw- initials. | ||
