English term

englishize?

Non-PRO English Art/Literary Linguistics
we say Americanize, Turcisize, etc.
what is the correponding word in English?
If you want to assimilate one into English how do you say it? an englisized word?? or what? does the rule apply to all language / nation words

Thanks in deed!

agree Robert Forstag : The general rule that I learned way back is that upper case is required for all nouns and adjectives referring to nation, religion, or ethnic group. The exceptions are when nouns are turned into derogatory verbs (e.g., "to welsh"; "to jew"; "to gyp").

Not sure about upper case. Merriam-Webster's uses lower case. Although the OED uses upper case.

agree JaneTranslates : U.K.: anglicise. U.S.: anglicize. Lower case--it's a verb, not a noun or adjective.
