The '''Annerish''' language (''ın béırlen Annrach'' / ''{{Rune|ᛁ᛫ᛕᛁᛁᛧᚳᛁ᛫ᚭᚢᛂᛧᚭᚼ}}'' ) is a medieval, early-split Germanic language spoken by the inhabitants of the [[Verse:Anneries|Anneries]] (''ın Annray'' / ''{{Rune|ᛁ᛫ᚭᚢᛂᛧᛆᚢ}}'' ), an archipelago emerging from the [[:w:Porcupine_Seabight|Porcupine Bank]] off the west coast of Ireland. | The '''Annerish''' language (''ın béırlen Annrach'' / ''{{Rune|ᛁ᛫ᛕᛁᛁᛧᚳᛁ᛫ᚭᚢᛂᛧᚭᚼ}}'' ) is a medieval, early-split Germanic language spoken by the inhabitants of the [[Verse:Anneries|Anneries]] (''ın Annray'' / ''{{Rune|ᛁ᛫ᚭᚢᛂᛧᛆᚢ}}'' ), an archipelago emerging from the [[:w:Porcupine_Seabight|Porcupine Bank]] off the west coast of Ireland. | ||

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. | |||

By the time of the Middle period, after centuries of diglossia, the [[:w:Celtic languages|Celtic]] influence has made the cognate language unrecognizeable to the [[:w:Viking age|Norsemen]], who ally with their distant cousins against the Christians of the British Isles and become integral to the newly national culture, lending doublets (mostly nominal) in the process. However, a unique substratum, likely [[:w:Paleo-European languages|Old European]], leaves its mark in the later language and more specifically in the sociolect of men - the Ceccr. The matriarchal social order and polytheistic worldview is reflected extensively throughout the known literature, which unfortunately declines after a brutal period of English colonisation in the 1700's. | |||
