Anglo-Norman的意思|示意

'

Anglo-Norman is a variation of Old French, also known as retro French, which was commonly used in the Middle Ages. This language mainly exists in England, Wales, and Ireland. Anglo-Norman was used in Britain since the Norman Conquest in 1066 and was the language of the ruling class until the 14th century, when it was replaced by Middle English.

The language was heavily based on the dialect of Norman spoken in northern France, and it shares many similarities with modern French. However, there are still some differences that can be observed. The most notable difference is the pronunciation. The phonology of Anglo-Norman is much closer to Old Norman and Old French than to modern French, and the spelling is somewhat different.

The Anglo-Norman language has seen use in a few areas. It is used in some literature, and is often referred to as the language of the Troubadours. Furthermore, the language has been used in law, history, and medical texts, and a few churches still use it in their liturgy.

The use of the language is much limited today; nevertheless, it is still studied by linguists and classicists who value the language for its historical importance and its linguistic features. There are a few dictionaries and schoolbooks dedicated to Anglo-Norman, and the language is available in some schools and universities.
