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

A NEW LANGUAGE

West Germanic is an artificial language named after the West Germanic language family. It retains a core of vocabulary of Anglo-Saxon origin, the usage of the language itself based on German and Dutch (hence the name). Its more complex vocabulary, which in other languages comes from sources such as Latin and Greek, however, is instead formed from native roots. This reduces the amount of lexemes with exactly the same meaning; when a new word is encountered, it can thus be easily understood. Those who already know a language from the family should be able to pick up West Germanic, so it unites the Germanic world. Not only that, but it is tied to no nationality and no culture, meaning little bias. It could be used by anyone.

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.
