-'''Reardish''' ([[w:endonym|Autonym]]: ''Reoþþisco''; <small>Reardish: [[w:ipa chart|[reo̯ð.ðis.ko]]]</small>) is a [[w:Germanic language|Germanic language]]. It is spoken throughout Britain, but its speaking population is mostly centered around southern to middle England. It is a descendant of Proto-Germanic, though it developed alongside Old English, leading to its divergence from Proto-Germanic.
+'''Reardish''' ([[w:endonym|Autonym]]: ''Reoþþisco''; <small>Reardish: [[w:IPA chart|[reo̯ð.ðis.ko]]]</small>) is a [[w:Germanic language|Germanic language]] spoken throughout Britain. Its native population is mostly centered around southern to middle England. Though a descendant of Proto-Germanic, it developed alongside Old English, leading to its divergence.
-Reardish, having developed alongside Old English, experienced many of the sound changes that affected Old English, though it alsk lacks several of the sound changes that would qualify it for a closer classification to Old English, it cannot even be labeled [[w:West Germanic|West Germanic]] due it lacking some of the distinctive sound changes of the family. As such, it must be classed in its own branch, this is typically referred to as the "Reardic" branch. However, it is unclear whether it should even be classified as such since the early form is, in large part, still intelligible to the modern language, thus leading most linguists to simply place Reardish as a divergent descendant of Proto-Germanic and give it no specific familial classification.
+Having developed alongside Old English, Reardish experienced many of the same sound changes as Old English, though it lacks several that would allow it a classification closer to Old English, it cannot even be classed as [[w:West Germanic|West Germanic]] due to it lacking some of the family's distinctive sound changes. As such, it must be placed in its own branch, typically one called the "Reardic" branch. It is unclear whether Reardic as a family is valid due to the early form still largely being intelligible with the modern language, thus leading most linguists to simply place Reardish as a divergent descendant of Proto-Germanic, rather than giving it a specific familial classification.
 Today, Reardish is typically written in the Latin alphabet, still using the Insular script, the alphabet is near-identicle to that of Old English. In many artistic works, and quite often in elders, Anglo-Frisian runes are still used. Efforts to reinstate runes have been successful, leading to nearly all government issued writings (letters, signs, documents, etc) being offered in both scripts.
