Nihonglish 

A blend of the Japanese and English languages. Commonly spoken in neighborhoods or other societies where both Japanese and English speakers are roughly equally present, like Internateonal Schools in Japan.

Nihonglish is often not intentionally spoken, but instead is a natural occurrence when multiple Japanese-English bilinguals converse casually. Compare Spanglish, Hinglish, Swenglish, and Hawaiian Pidgin.
