Introduction

Etymology

From Old English þēodisċ "vernacular language" < Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz "of the people" < *þeudō "people" + -iskaz "-ish".

Synchronically analyzable as doit/dœt "people" + -esh/-esc "-ish".

Phonology

Orthography

Two Latin-based orthograpies are used:

  1. Eagelstaiv/Jegelstæf ("English letter(s)"): Based on Middle English orthography.
  2. Deanstaiv/Djenstæf ("Danish letter(s)"): Based on Old Norse Latin orthography.

This article will use both orthographies separated by a slash (/).

Lenition

When a word ending in a voiceless stop or fricative has a vowel-initial suffix added, the final consonant becomes a voiced fricative. This is known as lenition.

Not all such words undergo lenition. Whether a word undergoes lenition or not is predictable from its orthography.

The table below summarizes the consonants that can undergo lenition.
