Anglian (autoglossonym: Ǣnglean; Anglian: ['æ:ŋglæɑ̯n];) was a Romance language spoken in what is now the Anglian Peninsula. It is a Germano-Romance language which is part of the West Romance languages.

While its vocabulary derives for the most part from Latin, Germanic influence is most notable in its grammar.

Etymology

The language name derives directly from the tribe that speaks it, the Anglii. The tribe name itself is unknown, but most likely comes from the Proto-Germanic word Proto-Germanic *angulaz (“fishook”).

Orthography

The Anglian Alphabet mainly used 22 letters but some modern varients use 31.

Grammar

Anglian grammar has evolved greatly from that of Latin, and is similar to that of Germanic languages. Anglian is a moderaly Synthetic language. Adjectives and some pronouns are inflected for number (singular and plural); nouns, personal pronouns and some pronouns are inflected for person, gender, number and case; and verbs, for tense, aspect, mood, and the person and number of their subjects. Certain verb features are marked using auxiliary verbs.

Nouns

Anglian nouns 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

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.
