Reardish: Difference between revisions

Reardish can be roughly split into three stages, those being ''Archaic Reardish''{{efn|(Also called Proto-Reardish, or, informally, Pseudo-West Germanic)}}, ''Anglic-Reardish''{{efn|(This stage has several names, none of which are considered standard, most linguists will default to ''Middle Reardish''. ''Anglic-Reardish'' will be used here due to its parallel development to Old English)}}, and ''Modern Reardish''{{efn|(Many, especially English-speaking peoples distanced from the Reardish-speaking population, may call this ''Pseudo-Anglo-Saxon'' or ''Pseudo-Old-English'', these terms are rejected in academic circles by scholars of history and linguists alike due to the language's, and the people's, unique history and development, as well as the potentially demeaning undertones of such terms implying that they and their language are simply "fake English")}}. Modern Reardish is largely mutually intelligible with Old English, as well as Proto-Germanic, the intelligibility between Modern Reardish and Proto-Germanic is not one of ease, it is not to the extent of Modern English to Old English, as the understanding does exist even without study, but it takes far higher effort and time for a Modern Reardish speaker to understand Proto-Germanic, the largely intact grammar system lends to this understanding being possible.
