'''English''' is a language of the island nation of [[Engil]], where it is the common speech. It is a '''language isolate''': it has no demonstrated kinship with any of the major Yezuri [[:Category:Language families|language families]], and its origins — remote from the continental mainlands — remain poorly researched.

== Forms ==
English exists in two closely related forms, differing in only a small share — roughly three per cent — of the vocabulary:

* '''Traditional English''' is the form spoken by most people on Engil.
* '''New English''' is a globalized form, which replaces part of the traditional vocabulary with loanwords drawn from languages across Yezur.

The vocabulary of Traditional English includes a large layer of words without clear cognates in any other Yezuri language, and the origin of this layer is poorly understood. It is chiefly this layer that New English replaces or reshapes.
