Despite the alphabetical shortcomings of Anglo Norman, I have seen some examples of "Middle English" (and I'm not overly fond of that term) use older letters like thorn (Ţ,ţ = th) . So I'm wondering how aggressively names will be anglicized. While I'm glad Landil's recent map preview didn't make me have to learn Arabic, I wouldn't mind a few "interesting" letters from time to time.
Indeed good sir knight I meant that the names will be different from their modern forms, but shall be using the modern day English alphabet [as in no Hungarian runic script for the Hungarian PSFs, no Arabic for the middle-eastern PSFs, and no Cyrill letters from the various Slavic factions.
There are however some exceptions like the usage of the letters: é, á, ß, ú, ő, ü, ó, ű (you get the picture: some letters that are available in a latin alphabet like format). Indeed many Nordic settlements/region names use these special letters.
I'd invite you to decipher which English settlements these are:
Lundenwic, Eorforwic, Caunterbury, Snottingaham
