Blairian Ænglish is a register of English originally developed by the Wealdish-Anglan poet Edwin Blair. It was designed to contain as many lexical and grammatical elements from Old Ænglish as possible, as well as preferring Germanic calques or loanwords for technical and scientific terminology, while maintaining mutual intelligibility. A passionate pan-Anglanist and Germanophile, Blair believed that Anglan liberation and unification could only be accomplished with support from and solidarity with the other Germanic peoples of northern Levantia, and saw the removal of Gaelic and Levantic elements from Ænglish as vital to asserting the "Germanic" spirit of Anglans. His primary opponents were the Anglo-Urceanists, who identified the success of the Anglan people as coming through continued friendship with Urcea and union with the Holy Levantine Empire, viewed pan-Anglanism as a primarily cultural project, and approached positively the influence of Gaels and Levantines on Anglan civilization. They thus supported Julian Ænglish. Though the fortunes of Blairian English declined in the aftermath of the Great War, numerous societies across the Anglan world continue to support its adoption, and it still used in foreign language education in Wealdland and in that country's Ænglish-language publications, as a consequence of which all Wealdland-related pages on IxWiki are in Blairian Ænglish
