White nationalists have gone looking for a mothertung. No, that isn鈥檛 a misspelling, rather how the word would look for white nationalists obsessed with seeing Anglish in widespread use.

Anglish? I must certainly mean English, right? Nope.

Derived from 鈥渓inguistic purism,鈥� an idea that dates to the 16th and 17th centuries, Anglish is the English language either expunged of words with Latinate or Greek origins, or with those words completely reimagined with deference to Germanic roots. In the 19th century, writers such as Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy favored the style, even introducing words like 鈥渂irdlore鈥� instead of ornithology and 鈥渂endsome鈥� in place of flexible.

But in the last year, as the racist 鈥渁lt-right鈥� has moved farther into the mainstream, this old idea has seen some newfound enthusiasm. (Maybe racists have come to realize that if a white ethnostate can鈥檛 be built on a gene pool, grammar will do.)

As early as 2010, though, Anglish was casually discussed in places such as Stormfront, once the largest white supremacist website in the world.

There, last summer, someone with the username 鈥淗ail Britain,鈥� lauded Anglish after someone posted a YouTube video exploring the question, 鈥淲hat if English were 100 percent Germanic.鈥�

鈥淕ood to see this sort of thing circulating,鈥� a user named 鈥淏ranmakmorn鈥� wrote. 鈥淗opefully it鈥檒l spur a few normies to start asking more questions about their white identity.鈥�

More recently, last November, an author revisited the idea of Anglish in the Renegade Tribune, an online anti-Semitic newspaper that has dabbled in Holocaust denial and featured headlines such as, 鈥淭he jewish [sic] Plans for 2018: Immigrant Invasion, Miscegenation, and White Genocide.鈥�

鈥淗ow is that White countries with languages derived from Latin fell easier to Jewish universalism than Germany? Of course language is not the main reason but it is certainly related to it, and it had its own contribution,鈥� an author last opined last November for the Renegade Tribune.

He added, in a comment to his own post: 鈥淟atin is a slave language because it is intended to be universal, to facilitate the breeding together of different humans.鈥�

While the idea is bizarre, and almost certain to fall short in a racist culture driven more by memes more than transliterate mental gymnastics, there have been discussions about pushing Anglish into the mainstream on Reddit, and online forums elsewhere dedicated to Anglish.

But even for racists concerned with racial purity, the idea of speaking an entirely different language seems daunting.

鈥淲hat would be the point in changing the time-proven fully functional English language???鈥� a user named 鈥淩ebel Robbie鈥� asked last July on Stormfront. 鈥淟anguage is the least of our problems. 鈥� a common language is a way of communicating with with [sic] the peoples that are local to each other in a specific area.鈥�

Rebel Robbie has a point, even if he expressed it with some grammatical stumbles.

Every white nationalist knows its hard enough getting the movement to agree on anything, and that鈥檚 when everyone involved is pulling from the same 鈥渨ordstock.鈥� That鈥檚 not to mention how the anti-immigrant movement and groups such as Pro-English, one of Michigan ophthalmologist John Tanton鈥檚 projects, have spent the better part of nearly three decades feebly pushing for the United States to adopt English as a national language.

But, hey, the brainy racists obsessed with language are right about one thing: language matters. And even they have to realize that pushing Anglish is one thing above all else: laughably stupid.
