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 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 heavy [[:w:Goidelic languages|Goidelic]] superstratum. <br> | It is attested in two distinct forms, namely: Old Annerish and Middle Annerish.

It is hypothesised that the Annerish people are either one and the same with, or a subgroup of the [[:w:Belgae|Balgae]] who migrated from the Gallo-Germanic confederation to south Britain and later fled to Ireland at the wake of the Roman conquest. Many characteristic features of [[:w:Common_Brittonic|Brythonic]] and Goidelic languages are shared with the Anrish language, which has previously been regarded as Celtic. True classification has also been obscured by the crucial lack of [[:w:Verner%27s_law|Verner's law]], along with sweeping sound changes by analogy with the mutation strategies of the dominant languages that reverse some of the effects of [[:w:Grimm%27s_law|Grimm's law]], though notably not in reflexes of *hw- and *þw- initials. | It is hypothesised that the Annerish people are either one and the same with, or a subgroup of the [[:w:Belgae|Balgae]] who migrated from the Gallo-Germanic confederation to south Britain and later fled to Ireland at the wake of the Roman conquest.
