Re: Anglo-Romance



I don't know.  Besides the Anglo-Romance subset of normal English 
you've mentioned, I have yet to see any Anglo-Latinate conlangs.  
I've done some extremely rudimentary work on the idea, but it never 
blossomed.  It would be a very interesting conlanging project.  The 
challenge would be (assuming we would want the conlang to seem 
authentic and fit in a reasonable historical context) gathering 
enough information about Anglo-Saxon or Old English grammar, 
phonology, orthography, and morphology to create a realistic and 
rich blend with Latin.  If, however, we just want to create a 
language that blends Latin with English without attempting to 
believably explain its hypothetical existence, then Modern English 
would suffice as the second ingredient that we would blend with 
Latin.

Either way, if we can't find such a conlang already created, it 
would certainly be a worthwhile project for any daring member of 
this group to undertake.
