“Ænglorþe”: an Alternate Orthography for the English Language

The word “Ænglorþe” (Anglorthe) is a combination of the word roots “Anglo-” and “ortho-”.

The letters were mainly inspired from the Old English Latin alphabet. The letters unfamiliar to Old English (e.ɡ. ⟨j⟩, ⟨å⟩...) were inspired from the other Germanic orthographies.

The vowel digraphs were inspired by the modern English alphabet, but with spelling rules.
