A Loan-free version of the English Language
English has throughout its long history acquired many loan words (borrowed) from other languages, majoritarily greco-latinate terms following the Norman conquest in 1066, often suited to scientific and technical purposes but which also tend to displace native words of Old English origin in many other contexts which have since fallen out of use or survive at local level... What would today's English look like had it retained much of its native wordstock?
