About Anglian/Yelowardish
Arhet Discription
Yeloweardish is the offical language of Norþweadriċa, a nation in southern Aretia. It is a somewhat small country, It only has one (developed) neighbour, Sūþweardriċ the Old English country. Yeloweathrish or Ġealowēaþrisċ comes from Ġealo and Wēarþrisċ. Ġealo comes from Latin gallus (gaul) and Wēarþrisċ comes from Old English weard + isċ, probably the Arhetian name for the Anglo-Saxons.
Nearly every "What if English was a romance language" starts directly in Britain, which seems logical, until you realize that English wasn't even spoken here at the time. So I thought, "What if the Romans took over Anglia?"
- It must possess both the appearance and phonetics reminiscent of Old English;
- Whenever feasible, a Romance origin is preferred for word choices;
- Aesthetic considerations may take precedence over strict adherence to linguistic purism;
- All Latinate borrowings in Old English are taken verbatim into Ǣnglean;
- Grimm's law is applied in Vulgar Latin-Anglish words (pods. foot; tu, thou; frater, brother)
With this rules applied and gradually refined, Anglian now has
- Pseudo Old English orthography
- 2 genders
- preserved the genitive case from Latin
- no articles
Some phonemic prosseses from Vulgar Latin to Yealoweadrish
These are more like Guidelines, not rules
1. Grimm-esque type law
1. p > f
2. t > þ
3. k > h
2. Breaking of short o to ai in Germano-Romance.

Why are there Old English words?
If there is a good enough Old ENglish word, or Old English cognate, I will take it into Yealoweardrish verbatim. eg.
via > weġ, both from PIE *weǵʰ-
portus > ford, both from PIE *pértus
It's modern English counterpart is
Anglian/Yealoeadrish
