A style of speaking English by native born Chinese people, that is formed by the natural differences in our languages. Certain fundamental differences are difficult to overcome, even if the speaker is highly educated. Simple things can come into play, from the fact that the Chinese word for he and she is the same word, "TA", to the lack of any "V" sound in their entire language.
Interesting side note: the word "usually" seems to be the most difficult word for a Mandarin Chinese speaker to say in English.

Get the Chinglish mug.A joke, used primarily by Muricans while ordering sushi in Chinese restaurants, that may come off as plain racist instead of racist but funny since the Chinese have no problem whatsoever saying the word English. (Well, ok, yeah, it's going to be Een-guh-lee-shuh at first because of the short syllable thing, but the *L* is fine, dammit.)
It's the Japanese who can't say L to save their lives. (Literally. In World War II, American GIs would use "lolapalooza" as a shibboleth. Chinese allies could make the perimeter easily, "Nips" starting in with rara... got finished up with lead flying their way.) Since the Chinese and Japanese have some history, it makes the confusion especially unappreciated. (Mandarin can't say L at the *end* of a sound either ("towel" turns into either "tower" or "tawo"), but that's beside the point.)

Get the Chingrish mug.A language (Ranguage), used primarily (Primariry) by people who are learning English, who currently 'speak a Chinese'. This is very stereotypical and found in countries where English is the first (Primary) language. To speak fluent (FRUUUENT) in the Chingrish language (Ranguage) you have to change l's to r's and add emphasis on certain words. Now that you have mastered Chingrish you will be able to communicate with the Chinese community. GUNG HAI FAT CHOIIIIIIII
