Wordwork's Wordings
"Anglo-Saxon", not "Anglo-Danish". Anglish does away with the needless French, Latin and Greek words that upset the "Anglo-Danish" tung in the aftermath of 1066. I also English of the needless Norse words and spellings that upset the Anglo-Saxon tung as an outcome of the Danish inroads. I keep borrowings for that which Old English had no words, such as "(an) orange". (See the Anglish Wordbook for settled words.) Learn more at Old Norse Words.

It was a great blow to English to lose the word "thou", which then lead to the word "you" on the  as well as its older meaning as the -. I write with "thou/thee/thy" and its beon conjugations. Learn more at Thou and Pronouns.

The third- "they/them/their(s)" came either straight from, or were backed up by, the Norse inroads of England. I therefore write with the inborn matches, "hy/hem/here(s)" and I conjugate with beon. Learn more at Pronouns. I also wield "hy/hem/here(s)" for the third- , as one would for "their". (As in, "Ashley has here shirt on backward.")

I write with more beon conjugation. I've come to this way by looking mainly to living West speech and English's  tungs,, Netherlandish, and , first to last. I believe "am" and "are" only spread in English thanks to the Norse inroads. However, "is", from the wesan conjugation, would have overcome "bith" anyway. Learn more at Pronouns. I be here. I was there. We be here. We were there. Thou bist here. Thou wast there. Ye be here. Ye were there. He/She/It is here. He/She/It was there. Hy be here. Hy were there.

Seen beside the West Friesh conjugations:

Ik bin hjir. Ik wie dêr. Wy binne hjir. Wy wienen dêr. Do bist hjir. Do wiest dêr. Jo binne hjir. Jim wiene der. Hy/Sy/It is hjir. Hy/Sy/It wie dêr. Hy binne hjir. Hy wiene der.

Wordwork's Spellings
I build on the settled ways of Anglish Spelling. I have brought on some further spelling to make the spelling in my writs more steady,, and a way I find smoother to read. So:
 * 1) I   (⟨á⟩, ⟨é⟩, ⟨í⟩, ⟨ó⟩, ⟨ú⟩) to mark the long, instead of  the 'magic e' way. So, "ate" is "át"; "eat" is "ét", "bite" is "bít", "home" is "hóm", and "cow" is "cú".
 * 2) I spell the ⟨oo⟩ that comes from the other Old English long-o as is in English. So, "soon" and "moon" have no spelling shifts.
 * 3) I spell the ⟨th⟩ diagraph with the  thorn (⟨þ⟩, ⟨Þ⟩), which has been forthput and -on by many, but not yet settled as an Anglish spelling. It works the same as the other fricatives. So, "bath" becomes "baþþ", and "bathe" becomes "báþ".
 * 4) I spell ⟨ie⟩ and ⟨ea⟩ as  or marked with an acute accent, as fitting. So, "friend" becomes "frend", "head” becomes "hed"; "(to) lead" becomes "(too) léd", and "great" becomes "grát".
 * 5) I spell /ʃ/ as ⟨sch⟩, putting an ⟨h⟩ onto the diagraph, to set it asunder from /sk/. So, "shoot" becomes "schoot".
 * 6) I spell /tʃ/ as ⟨ch⟩, putting an ⟨h⟩ onto the diagraph, so that it is sharp wherever it's found in a word. So, "much" is still "much". (In Anglish spelling, this would be "muc".)
 * 7) I drop the  ⟨k⟩ altogether, unless it's in an . So, "chicken" becomes "chicen", and "kitchen" becomes "cichen".
 * 8) I spell /dʒ/ as ⟨cg⟩, wherever it falls in a word. So, "edge" becomes "ecg", and even the  outlier, "jump" becomes "cgump".
 * 9) I drop needless ⟨-gh⟩. So, "rough" is spelled "ruff", "through" is "þrew", "though" is "þow", "thought" is "þawt", and "night" is "nít".
 * 10) I drop the  ⟨y⟩ altogether, unless it's in an, as it  with ⟨i⟩, becoming the bookstaff for /j/ as well. So, "day" becomes "dei", and "yes" becomes "iess".
 * 11) I spell the diphthong found in the words "all", "ball", "fore", "door" and so on, as "oa". So, "more" becomes "moar", and "all" becomes "oal".
 * 12) My  only needs these twenty-one : Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, Ll, Mm, Nn, Oo, Pp, Rr, Ss, Tt, Uu, Ww, Xx, Þþ. (Þiss staffrow wiþþ diacretics and þorn can bé  writen út on almost eni  wiþþ þe Íslandisch ciboard.)

"Þe cwic brún fox cgumps ofer þe lási dog."
