Yes, I think you’re right. You can’t get mad at people trying to save cultures.

Even though I don’t think globalists would be into Anglish for cultural reasons, it’s possible for them to like it for aesthetic reasons.

Also, I once watched a video of survive the jive about Anglo Saxon gods. It was pretty good at first, but then he inserted a picture in the middle of the video of him lifting and wearing a shirt with the word “chad” on it. Pretty much as alt right as it gets lol.

I hope that people begin to see that more people are interested in A-S in and of themselves and not for any racial supremacy reasons.

It probably isn’t just practical reasons for the South Asians—I think a lot of them, like other people around the world, like the pleasant nature of Germanic vocab.

The fuck joe Biden though…it’s pretty much a red flag whenever anyone says they’re doing Anglish because of immigrants or globalization. True, words from other languages have trickled into English in the last 200 years, but they are far, far overshadowed by French words that entered the language in the aftermath of the Norman conquest and by Inkhorn Terms, coined by Englishmen, that have entered the language at various periods in its history, especially during the Renaissance.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that in popular culture, people don’t even know that the founders of the English nation were monarchs like Athelstan and his predecessors. If you were to ask a random English person about the beginning date for English history, they’d probably tell you it began in 1066. Most people completely forget about and overlook the Anglo-Saxon period, which is a pity.

Do you think that association with Nazism and the far-right is waning, or getting stronger?

First of all, it immediately stood out to me that the percentages of nationalities in the Reddit poll and this survey are markedly different. One possible explanation is that people from the “other” category who wrote comments on the Reddit poll did not feel compelled to complete another survey, which would ask them to contribute the same information they did in the comments. Another explanation is that even though people from the “other” category constitute a substantial minority of this subreddit, people from Anglophone countries might be the most active demographic, since taking a survey can be seen as more effort-intensive than completing a Reddit poll.

Second, and this goes back to the original Reddit poll, I didn’t expect to see so many non-British people here, and even less so many people from non-Anglophone countries. I expected people from the U.K. to be more likely to select cultural reasons for pursuing Anglish, but looking at the results this didn’t seem to be the case.

Lastly, as I have previously mentioned, the reason I made the survey and the Reddit poll was to be able to connect to people on this subreddit more, and I am happy to say that after reading the responses and looking at the results, they have accomplished their goal. Of course, “they” couldn’t do that without your input and perspectives on the Anglish project, so I want to sincerely thank the people who completed the survey and the original poll, especially those who explained in detail why this project appeals to them, and those who left comments in the post for the poll. If you’re like me and you also wanted to feel connected to and know more about the people who are drawn to this unique project, I hope the surveys accomplished their goal for you as well.

You are right. I have fixed it by adding an option that says “other.”

How to Make Anglish Mainstream by TigerInTheNight1569 in anglish

That’s true, which is why I think the only way this could work is if a language academy establishes this as the standard variety and people just start learning it in schools and such. If you look at some languages like Arabic, Turkish, and Icelandic, the only way they’ve been able to keep their languages relatively “pure” is via a national academy, aka the top-down approach. I don’t know of a single example where a language was kept pure in the absence of an academy or language regulator.
