Anglo-American language

Pronunciation: /ˈæŋɡ.loʊ əˈmɛr.ɪ.kən læŋɡ.wɪdʒ/
Definition:
A reinvented language combining elements of Anglo-Norman, Iberian-Romance subfamilies, and neologisms starting from 2024. Designed to phase out Scandinavian-Germanic influences, ideally reducing them to less than 10%, or potentially eliminating them entirely.

Significance:
• It defines a radical departure from traditional American English by obliterating it of Scandinavian-Germanic roots.
• It emphasizes unity across cultures by integrating Latin and Romance elements.
• It identifies a fresh start for American English, abandoning old-fashioned structures.
• It avoids confusing pronunciations and irregular verb forms.
• It simplifies studying curves for non-native speakers.
• It improves readability and comprehensibility through clearer orthography.
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms with Latin and Romance alternatives, similar to "Novlang".
Phrase: Anglo-American language

Examples:
• "The Anglo-American language employs purely Latin roots for expressing time-related concepts."
• "Students benefit from the Anglo-American language's absence of irregular verbs."
• "Confusing homophones like 'ship' and 'sheep' are eliminated in the Anglo-American language."
• "This dictionary provides translations between Anglo-American and traditional English."
• "Immigrants appreciate the clarity and straightforward syntax of the Anglo-American language."

Black American English (BAE)

Black American English (BAE) is a legitimate, culturally rooted, and rule-governed dialect of American English that developed historically within Black American communities. It possesses its own consistent grammar, pronunciation patterns, vocabulary, and cultural expressions. Linguists recognize BAE as a fully developed and systematic variety of English—not as “slang,” “broken English,” or “incorrect English.” BAE is shaped by Black Americans’ linguistic heritage and the history of Black communities in the United States. As an ongoing cultural innovation, BAE functions both as a mode of communication and as a marker of identity, community, and artistic expression. Its distinct phonological, syntactic, and lexical features reflect the influence of Black American linguistic traditions, shaped by the sociopolitical conditions of enslavement and segregation, as well as the continuous creativity within Black American culture. Like any other recognized English dialect, BAE follows internally consistent grammatical rules and serves as a symbol of cultural identity, solidarity, and resilience. It has also significantly influenced broader American English through its impact on music, literature, slang, and digital communication.

Many linguists argue that Black American English (BAE) should be taught and understood as a legitimate dialect with its own rules rather than dismissed as informal speech.

[gank] of America

The subculture of individuals who make it their mission to toy with large consumer stores through means such as replacing items, shoplifting ("ganking") for the fun, etc.

The "gank of America" struck big today at the Super G when they built a 10 ft high pyramid of cracker jacks in the middle of the aisle.
