Anglei: Difference between revisions

Over the course of its history, the territory today known as Anglei was given various official and unofficial names including Angla, Ænglaland, Ænglia, and Ænglasmarch/Ænglishmarch, the origin of the modern state of [[Ænglasmarch]] in [[Urcea]]. All of these names were used in official titles during the Kingdom period, with the simplified ''Angla'' being the most common. For historiographical purposes, "Ænglishmarch" became the common term to refer to the march period and "Angla" to refer to the Kingdom period, but these historical conventions largely began in the mid-20th century. The term ''Anglei'', the [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] term for the area, entered common use following the partition of the unified Ænglish state in the [[Nordmontaine War]]. The term, originating in neighboring [[Yonderre]], became the conventional name for the area due to both local acceptance as well as common map appellation by the mid-1700s. Although the official name of the country was the "United Angle States", in part not to indicate greater territorial claims to Ænglish irredenta, the term "Anglei" remains the common shorthand name of the country and has been increasingly used in official correspondence since the end of the [[Second Great War]].
