The name "Anrish" is derived simply from a combination of the Anrish endonym [[Contionary:Annor#Anrish|Annor]] + -ish in English. Similarly, Annoroíed is derived from a compound in Anrish of [[Contionary:Annor#Anrish|Annor]] + [[Contionary:#Anrish|oíed]], translating  to "the Anrish islands".

==History==
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)
Monophthongization of PG diphthongs:

Labiovelars become bilabials:

*ngw> mb (*tungwǭ> tomma - tongue; *slangwijō> laimm - sling);
