In order to be all inclusive, and provide a home for discussing minority languages related to English, I suggest that we change the name of the English language forum from "English" to "Anglo-Frisian", so that Anglic varieties such as Scots would be included, and Frisian, which both currently do not have a home.
Benjamin and I seem to be the most frequent visitors of the English language forum, and we both enjoy discussing Scots and Frisian. Fredrik, is perhaps Frisian's greatest fan, and I'm sure he would love to see Frisian have its own home. _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

It sounds like a good idea to me, others who like it as well? The only problem is that English (as the other languages) is currently a subforum of the language forum. Ít can't have subforums of its own, so I will have to create it as a seperate forum. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.

Couldn't English, Frisian and Scots just share a subforum? There's one subforum for Dutch and Afrikaans, and one for the Scandinavian languages, and one for all the Slavic languages; so I don't think we have to have a subforum for every single language. You could just change "English" to "Anglo-Frisian".

True. So if there are no objections to the name change.... _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.
