Chinglish 

Chinese/Japanese text that has been translated into English by someone Chinese/Japanese. This can give embarassing results, or just plain stupid ones. See Instruction manuals from cheap remote controlled cars, etc.

Chinglish 

A combination of the words Chinese and English, referring to text which has been translated from Chinese into English where said text makes little sense, often due to a lack of grammar or the use of random words. Words may also be spelled incorrectly.
I bought something from China, it came with a card in Chinglish which said: "Bless everything goes well ! If like our items, please kindly help leave a 5 star review ! If have any questions, we will always beside by you !"

chinglish 

Chinglish is an alternate nonsensical linguistic style precipitated by the intermingling of the English language with Asian DNA.

The result is often a confused collection of words sounding not unlike Yoda given the excessive utilization of anastrophe.
English: Hello Richard, let us meet at the Sydney Harbour Bridge at 5:30 this afternoon?

Chinglish: Hello Richard, me and you meet at Bridge Harbour Sydney yesterday at 5:30pm?

Chinglish 

Chinese English.

I live in an english speaking country where 14% of the population is made up of asian immigrants whose english can be heavily accented or they speak using poor grammar or pronunciation.

My friends and I started to call these misprounouncings as Chinglish and in my town it is starting to be a common expression now.
Example of Chinglish; "are you going shopping yesterday?"
