Chinglish
Chinglish (slang) is a portmanteau of the words Chinese and English and refers to either (a) English interspersed with English language errors common to those Chinese persons who are learning English or (b) Chinese interspersed with English, such as used by westernized Chinese (e.g. American-born Chinese) who are not fluent in Chinese and codeswitch English words into speech when they can't think of the correct Chinese word.Chinglish is not the name of a language, creole language, pidgin, or dialect.
Example
Notable examples include \"no q\" as a response to \"thank you\" (often sinicized in Mandarin Chinese as 三Q - san q) and ok le (了). (The second example is both chinglish and Singlish.)
