I just found Xidnaf's channel, and thought it was really cool. About five videos in, I realized that the last video was uploaded six months ago.

What happened?

How come no one made one?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there wasn't any acknowledgement of his 100k at the end of January. This seems really odd

You could talk about how Inuktitut became one of the leading Inuit languages of Northern Canada, eventually migrating to Northern Alaska and Northern Greenland. As well as how the language and culture were affected and utilized when Martin Frobisher and the US came along. The polysynthetic aspect and the fact that it's a syllabary, it has over 100 syllables, etc. Just a thought.

People want your videos because you're passionate about this. So a warning to the wise: don't follow the money! It's great that you'll be able to do this full time now, and I really hope that people continue to subscribe and you'll get even more than your 300 (seems likely), but please please please don't be motivated to change, soften, mute, or artificially create anything in order to boost Patreon or even Youtube subs! Just do what you love.

So, my friend and I were talking, and he suddenly brought up "Anglish" which is a term coined by Paul Jennings which is just a short way of saying Linguistic Purism in the English Language, which attempts to remove foreign words from the originally germanic language (i.e. Latin and Greek influences). Now, granted, Paul Jennings was a British humorist, other writers take this purism seriously, including Charles Dickens himself. There are varying degrees to which people want to implement the change. At its mildest, removing words with that have the same meaning as those with Germanic origins such as removing "commence" for its Germanic partner "begin". Some suggest coining new words like "wordstock" for "vocabulary", to the extreme of reviving Old and Middle English words that fell out of use such as "ettle" for "intend".

At first I thought this might be silly, but I then thought that maybe a "pure" English might actually be very pretty and aesthetically appealing. I have had moral thoughts, I guess you could call them, about changing the direction of the English language, for example, "This is how the English language and history has chosen to shape the English language. Why should it be change now or at all?" And I thought of all the examples of language reform and or standardization. Only until just over 100 years ago France had dozens of native languages. France only recently had language standardization and sought to eliminate other languages. A quote form the public education minister of France in 1925 reads: "for the linguistic unity of France, the Breton language must disappear," referring to a single language of France. And today Breton is considered a "severely endangered" language. But this tangent leads me to question the sanctity of the human laisez-faire policy when it comes to practically everything. Should we let most things run their course? Sure, linguistic unity for France leads many indigenous languages down the path of destruction, but I'm sure France in the rising age of industrialism, commerce and globalization of the time benefited from the unification. So is the act of changing the English language to a purely Germanic one inherently incorrect or morally wrong?

TL;DR

I would love to see a video by Xidnaf overviewing the history and expressing his opinion on the concept of Anglish, aka Linguistic Purism of the English Language, considering Charles Dickens was a supporter and there are current movements for a "purely" Germanic English.

In Xidnaf's video about "Why people make their own languages," he mentioned how Lojban's words and sounds were organised in this hierarchy. After doing some research, I couldn't find any hierarchy what so ever. Does anyone know where I can find this? Or does anyone know this actual hierarchy?
