anglise

Anglise is not a widely established term in English-language reference works. It does not denote a distinct concept on its own and is best understood as a rarely encountered or erroneous form rather than a standard word. In practice, it may appear as a misspelling in non-native texts or as a placeholder in uncertain contexts.

In French, the correct feminine form associated with the word for English is anglaise, as in la langue anglaise (the English language). The spelling anglise does not conform to contemporary French grammar and is generally regarded as a typographical error or a nonstandard variation rather than a legitimate form. When discussing the English language in French, one should use anglaise, not anglise.

In historical or philological contexts, readers may encounter Anglice, a Latin adverb meaning “in English.” This Latin form is unrelated to modern French spellings and reflects a different linguistic lineage. It appears in medieval manuscripts and scholarly works dealing with translations, but it is not a direct equivalent of an English or French word spelled anglise.

Because anglise lacks a stable, recognized meaning in contemporary usage, it is not used as a standard term in linguistic nomenclature or encyclopedic references. For discussions of language, it is preferable to employ established terms such as English (in English), anglais/anglaise (in French), or anglo- as a prefix, depending on the language of the text. In short, anglise is typically viewed as a misspelling or rare proper noun rather than a defined linguistic category.
