The '''Annerish''' language (''ın beàırlet Annrach'' / ''ᛂᛓᛆᛁᛧᚳᛁᛐᛅᚱᚭᚷ'') is a medieval, early-split Germanic language spoken by the inhabitants of the [[Verse:Anneries|Anneries]] (''ın Annray'' / ''ᛂᛅᚱᛆᚢ''), an archipelago emerging from the [[:w:Porcupine_Seabight|Porcupine Bank]] off the west coast of Ireland. <br>

It is attested in two distinct forms, namely: Old Annerish and Middle Annerish. Only a handful of vital pagan religious texts survive in the older language, first put to manuscript in the 7th century, though possibly composed a couple of centuries earlier. Despite having been affected by a series of phonological and morphological changes that had radically altered its appearance compared to other old [[:w:Germanic languages|Germanic]] languages, these ancient verse and prose exhibit abundant vocabulary of Germanic stock, albeit under a prestigeous [[:w:Goidelic languages|Goidelic]] superstratum. <br>
