Chinglish

Chinglish is slang for spoken or written English language that is either influenced by a Chinese language, or is poorly translated. In Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong and Guangxi, the term "Chinglish" refers mainly to Cantonese-influenced English. This term is commonly applied to ungrammatical or nonsensical English in Chinese contexts, and may have pejorative or deprecating connotations. Other terms used to describe the phenomenon include "Chinese English", "China English", "Engrish" and "Sinicized English". The degree to which a Chinese variety of English exists or can be considered legitimate is still up for debate.

Examples of use of Chinglish

Beijing has started a campaign to clean up incorrect English usage (or as some say there: «Chinglish») before playing host to the 2008 Olympic Games. «We have gathered a group of 40 experts from Beijing and abroad to work on standardizing English expressions in almost every field including tourism, transportation and business,» said Liu Yang, director of «Beijing Speaks,» a Chinese foreign languages program.
