Anglicization

Anglicization is the process of making something English in quality or characteristics. This can involve adapting a foreign word, name, or phrase to English usage, such as altering its spelling or sound, or converting a name to its English equivalent. In sociology, assimilation is a related concept where individuals or groups adopt the dominant culture of a society, becoming socially indistinguishable from others. While language is a crucial part of culture and assimilation, it's important to note that Anglicization specifically refers to the adoption of English characteristics, not necessarily the broader process of cultural absorption. Anglicanism, on the other hand, is a branch of Christianity and distinct from the linguistic and sociological concept of Anglicization.12345
