INTRODUCTION

Anglish is a form of the English language wherein most or all foreign words are forsaken for Germanic counterparts, especially ones native to English.

BACKGROUND

The term "Anglish" was coined by Paul Jennings, who used the word to describe some of his puristic writings. Anglish is part of a wider tradition of English linguistic purism, the holding that English ought to be spoken with less foreign influence. Though there is no cohesive Anglish movement, there are, and have been, sundry individuals and groups which have proposed, sympathized with, or have worked towards the realization of Anglish.
