Anglish - What if English Were 100% Germanic?

That's an interesting thought experiment. Interestingly enough, in World of Warcraft, humans use mostly only Roman-style words while orcs use Germanic-style words. So orcs will call magic users "Wizards" whereas humans will only call them "mages"

Wow, this just blew my mind. I never considered how much English took influence from non-Germanic languages. Honestly, Anglish as a form of vocabulary sounds like it could possibly exist in an alternate timeline, where Germany was the sole inspiration.
