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."
