The Rutland West Germanic Academy is set up in the name of S.C. Anderson's West Germanic constructed language, which began as Piscean. The organisation also stands for the conservation of the mother tongue and preservation of culture through the maintenance of a national language.

RWL stands for Rotelands Wessgermønsz Lorhaus, the name of the organisation in the language and its logo depicts those letters transliterated into the FUTHORC runic alphabet of the Anglo-Saxons.

Welcome to the RWL

IMMORTALS

The Immortals, named after the Immortals in the Académie Française, are supporters of West Germanic. You too can be an Immortal! You can contribute by paying money into a PayPal account or working for the RWL.

A donation of £2 will allow you to sponsor a word of your choice. This one-off payment entitles you to have your name or a name of a friend/relative/pet under that word for ever.

You can also apply to help us, particularly by deriving new vocabulary. I would instruct you on how to do this. You can spend as little or as much time as you like. No obligations! Find out more here.

Terra Linguas allows language learners to hear native speakers’ recordings of common phrases. It is set up to include German, Dutch and Afrikaans, members of the West Germanic family and also seeks to preserve languages, one of the RWL’s agenda.

CURRENT

West Germanic has been entered into the 2010 Conlang Relay. Its leg is scheduled to begin on the 20 February, where S.C. Anderson will translate from Karrev after which the West Germanic text will be translated into Khangaþyagon.

A conlang relay is a translation game involving conlangs. It is similar to the game called by names such as Telephone or Chinese Whispers, where a message is whispered from person to person, often in the process being changed beyond recognition. Instead of by whispers, in a relay the text is passed by translation: it is translated from the conlang it is received in, into one's own conlang, and then passed to the next person to be translated.
