According to some linguists, the name Insular French would be more suitable, because "Anglo-Norman" is constantly associated to the notion of a mixed language based on English and Norman. According to some, such a mixed language never existed. Other sources, however, indicate that such a language did exist, and that it was the descended language from the Norman French originally established in England after the Conquest.[5][6]
