'''Old Anrish''' ( | '''Old Anrish''' (en thomma n-Annoroch, ''Runic:''{{Rune|᛬ᛁᚾ·ᛏᚮᛘᛘᚭ·ᚾ·ᚭᚾᚾᚢᚱᚳᚼ᛬}}) is a Germanic language created by [[User:Ceolsige18|Aireadna Emmrais]] to be a medieval language spoken by the inhabitants of the [[Verse:Annoroíed|Anrish Islands]] (ed Annoroíed, ''Runic:''{{Rune|᛬ᛁᚦ·ᚭᚾᚾᚢᚱᚳᛁᚦ᛬}}), an archipelago emerging from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockall_Basin Rockall Plateau]. | ||
The language, while ultimately [[:w:Germanic languages|Germanic]], has been influenced by [[:w:Celtic languages|Celtic languages]] during an extended period of contact as the Anrish people migrated from the Gallo-Germanic confederation of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgae Balgae] to south Britain and later fled to Ireland at the wake of the Roman conquest. Many characteristic features of Brittonic and [[:w:Goidelic languages|Goidelic]] languages were shared with the Old Anrish language. | The language, while ultimately [[:w:Germanic languages|Germanic]], has been influenced by [[:w:Celtic languages|Celtic languages]] during an extended period of contact as the Anrish people migrated from the Gallo-Germanic confederation of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgae Balgae] to south Britain and later fled to Ireland at the wake of the Roman conquest.

Old Anrish was affected by a series of phonological changes that radically altered its appearance compared with Proto-Germanic and older Germanic languages. A list of the most important changes is (in approximate order): | |||
*wu> *ū. This must have been a feature of the Proto-Germanic dialect of the Anrish people before influences from Brittonic, where *ū> ī, and also precedes *kw> p (*kwuruz> *kūrj-> cír, not **puir) | |||
*ē<sub>2</sub>,*ī,*ū> ī (*ē<sub>2</sub>hiraz> ígir - maple; *ītraz> íthor - exquisite, precious; *ūdarą> ídra - udder) | |||

Having undergone the various sound changes described above, the nine declension of Proto-Germanic collapsed into six in Old Anrish with only marginal differences between original u-stems and the merged consonant- and r-stems. A peculiar feature of Old Anrish is the presence of the dual number in noun declension, which was likely lost in the Proto-Germanic stage of the language, only to be borrowed later on from Proto-Celtic. | |||

Firstly, it must be noted that adverbs are not a separate part of speech from adjectives in Anrish. Most adjectives are sufficized with either ‹-a› or ‹-e› | Firstly, it must be noted that adverbs are not a separate part of speech from adjectives in Anrish.
