For a moment then I though you meant with French soundchanges, but you

John Cowan: Scots is essentially Old English spoken by a Frenchman
wearing a kilt.

Now you have got me curious.  Can you identify people as
'surzhiki'/'surzhiks'?  What does it look like in contrast to its parent

Two recommendations:

A Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, by JR Clark Hall, published by
Cambridge University Press.

Wordcraft, by Stephen Pollington, published by Anglo-Saxon Books.

Both are godsends for the Germanic Constructed Language Creator.
