A leading native theory connects the ethnonym with a goddess mentioned as the matron of the [[w:Iceni|Eıchenna]], whose queen was [[w:Boudica|Búaıdech]] (<small>''Mid. A.''</small>: ''Buídech''), in the "Gospel of Evynn" (''Lebor Ebuınne'') – [[w:Andarta|Annarth]]. Still, many scholars consider the text itself failing to point out a connection as deffinitive proof against this theory. Instead, the native theonym ''{{cd|Aınnr}}'' is regarded as the true origin of ''Annr''.<br> Bernthaler (1907), the main foreign resource on the Annerish, supports both propositions and argues that the dental ending in the dative (''Aınnrte'') must trace back to the former theonym, but the root itself is one and the same as [[:wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Celtic/anderā|*anderā]]. | A leading native theory connects the ethnonym with a goddess mentioned as the matron of the [[w:Iceni|Eıchenna]], whose queen was [[w:Boudica|Búaıdech]] (<small>''Mid.

The Latin alphabet was introduced by the Irish Christians during the early 7th century. Another major factor in the Romanization of Anrish was the later advent of the printing press, created exclusively for Latin-based writing systems. | The Latin alphabet was introduced by the Irish Christians during the early 7th century.

It is hypothesised that the Annerish people are either one and the same with, or a subgroup of the [[:w:Belgae|Balgae]] who migrated from the Gallo-Germanic confederation to southern Britain and later fled to Ireland at the wake of [[w:Roman conquest of Britain|the Roman conquest]]. Many characteristic features of [[:w:Common_Brittonic|Brythonic]] and Goidelic languages are shared with the Annerish language, which had 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. | It is hypothesised that the Annerish people are either one and the same with, or a subgroup of the [[:w:Belgae|Balgae]] who migrated from the Gallo-Germanic confederation to southern Britain and later fled to Ireland at the wake of [[w:Roman conquest of Britain|the Roman conquest]].
