The '''Annerish''' language (''ın beàırlet Annrach'' / ''ᛂᛓᛆᛁᛧᚳᛁᛐᛅᚱᚭᚷ'') is an early-split [[:w:Germanic languages|Germanic]] language spoken by the inhabitants of the [[Verse:Alr_Annr|Anneries]] (''ne hAnnray'' / ''ᛂᚺᛅᚱᛆᚢ''), two archipelagos emerging from the [[:w:Porcupine_Seabight|Porcupine Bank]] (''Luínır'' / ''ᚳᚢᛂᚿᛁᛧ'') and [[:w:Rockall_Basin|Rockall Plateau]] (''Dóray'' / ''ᚿᚭᛧᛆᚢ''), west off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland. <br> | The '''Annerish''' language (''ın beàırlet Annrach'' / ''ᛂᛓᛆᛁᛧᚳᛁᛐᛅᚱᚭᚷ'') is an early-split [[:w:Germanic languages|Germanic]] language spoken by the inhabitants of the [[Verse:Alr_Annr|Anneries]] (''ne hAnnray'' / ''ᛂᚺᛅᚱᛆᚢ''), two archipelagos emerging from the [[:w:Porcupine_Seabight|Porcupine Bank]] (''Luínır'' / ''ᚳᚢᛂᚿᛁᛧ'') and [[:w:Rockall_Basin|Rockall Plateau]] (''Dóray'' / ''ᚿᚭᛧᛆᚢ''), west off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland. It is mostly attested in two distinct forms, namely: Old Annerish and Middle Annerish. <br> | ||
Only a handful of vital religious texts survive in the older language, first put to manuscript in the Ⅶ<sup>th</sup> century on ''Luínır'' (Luynier), though likely composed a couple of centuries earlier (possibly on [[w:Builg|mainland Ireland]]). After centuries of [[:w:Celtic languages|Celtic]] influence and diglossia, Old Annerish verse and prose still exhibit abundant vocabulary of Germanic stock peeking through the prestigeous [[:w:Goidelic languages|Goidelic]] superstratum. An [[:w:Paleo-European_languages|Old European]] substratum has also left its unique mark on the language and more specifically on the sociolect of men - the ''Ceccra'' - which has been driving innovation ever since the earliest of texts. Influence from the original indigenous inhabitants of the Luynier archipelago may also be found in the [[:w:Animism|animistic]], [[:w:Polytheism|polytheistic]] [[w:Ethnic_religion|ethnic religion]]. Despite countless Gaelic missions and continuous contact with Christendom, the Annerish have resisted conversion and developed a rich and complex [[w:Natural_theology|theology]] of their own. <br> | |||
By the turn of the Ⅷ<sup>th</sup> century, the islands around ''Dóray'' (Dorey) are settled with the help of the fellow heathen [[w:Viking_age|Vikings]] who would lend many doublets in the process. This is the start of the Middle period and the "Golden Age" of Annerish literature and culture. | By the turn of the Ⅷ<sup>th</sup> century, the islands around ''Dóray'' (Dorey) are settled with the help of the fellow heathen [[w:Viking_age|Vikings]] who would lend many doublets in the process.
