Hail Tumblrƿare! I ƿanted a stead ƿhere I could ƿrite in Anglish as oft as I ƿished, so I made þis blog.

Here’s a key to understanding my ƿriting:

I ƿrite ƿiþ þe elder bookstaffs Þorn (/θ/), Ƿynn (/w/), and Yoȝ (/x/ and 'gh'). I do not ƿrite ƿiþ Eð (/ð/) or þe Long ſ (/s/). Þe former þree make ƿriting English/Anglish eaþer, ƿhile þe latter two make it uneaþer (at least on a rimesare).

My spelling is in line ƿiþ þe English of today, aside from a scant feƿ ƿords here and þere.

I forgo all un-Deutschish ƿords, aside from the seld ƿord ƿhose meaning truly has no English likeƿord and ƿhich ƿas already borroƿed into Old English (byspel: “coser” for ‘emperor’. O.E. “casere”, from Leeden “Cæsar”)

I forgo not Deutschish ƿords þat came to English from þe Nordish or ƿest-Deutschish tungs.

Alþouȝ þe ettle of þis blog is Anglish, I ƿill be ƿielding it as a true smicker-blog. I'll be ƿriting my þouȝts, ƿhatever þey may be.

All are ƿelcome to þis blog!

the explanation of my version of Anglish from my website

It is cumenlig þat þu alrædig cnoƿ of Anglisc, but lest þu do not, I ƿill geef a scort recing. In 1066 C.E. (Curlig Eld), þe Kingdom of England fell to þe Hartoƿdom of Normandig in þe Guðe of Hastings. Þe utecum ƿas þe þrihting of the Normanisc tung upon þe Englisc, efening þe ƿag for þe Englisc tung's unhælthig þohtbestriding mid Frenc and Leeden. But hƿat if þe Englisc ƿon instæd? Anglisc is þe foredeemed utecum, hƿere þe Englisc held fast and þƿarted anig toƿard Frenc or Leedisc sƿag frum efer happening. Manig Angliscers also clænse þe tung of Norðmannisc sƿag and standing Leedisc/Frenc sƿag. I fand to note standing inborn Englisc scapes instæd of Norðmannisc ones, but I hafe no cƿalms ƿið standing Old Englisc ƿords frum Frenc or Leeden, suc as yntse (inse) and sealtian (to solt), boð of hƿic are of Leedisc frumð. I started mig "stragn" of Anglisc amid þe Þirmilk of 2023, and I hafe been stædilig ƿorking on it efer sins. Amid þe Harfestmonð of 2025, I began þe long and burdensum errand of agenƿorking mig hƿole ƿordbook frum skrac to be utelagn better, and as of ƿriting þis on þe 3rd of Þirmilk, 2026, I hafe onlig fuldone AA þruh IM. Anglisc is þe crafted tung (or more sooðlig, crafted bitung) of mine hƿich I can most ungeeldinglig edƿend to. I hafe ƿent ofer 100 capittels of þe Pokƿihts: Sunderlig Daƿnlandisc talestrip into Anglisc. I miht make þat open to þi ræding sum dag, but I am not get ƿitted.
