| - Speechlore, in Anglish/New-English, is the field of knowhood dealing with the ways of speech of all folkkinds. In Chancery English, it is known as linguistics. Those who know speechlore may only learn about one tongue, or may look for the shared ways and ties between tongues. Among the offshoots of speechlore are:
* Crosslikening speechlore (comparative linguistics)
* Guildspeechlore (sociolinguistics)
* Meaninglore (semantics)
* Mindspeechlore (psycholinguistics)
* Reckoning speechlore (computational linguistics)
* Speechgaining (language acquisition)
* Dinlore (phonetics)
* Speechsteadlore (phonology)
* Sundermeaninglore (pragmatics)
* Wordlinglore (morphology)
* Wordsetting (syntax)
* Yorespeechlore (historical linguistics) We must offset forspelling (prescriptive) speechlore and bespelling (descriptive): Forspelling speechlore seeks to tell the hoods in which folk should speak, while bespelling speechlore only tells speech as it is spoken indeed, not guiding which hood folk should speak in, only how they do speak. True speechlore, as a true witship, is bespelling.
