Spanglish

A mix of the two languages Spanish and English

Often used in the Latino community, or used by white kids trying too look cool and exotic.
Sometimes this will be the end result of a half-assed public school spanish education.

One small detail I noticed with Spanglish is that speakers use cognates a lot.

Look I can speak Spanglish,

Hola, mi amigo, do you want to go to the restaurante to get tacos and burritos?

I need to go pee mucho rapido.

I just finished Spanish 1, now im taking Spanish 2.Watch me pick up some Latina girls. "Hola, chicas you are looking very muy caliente."

spanglish

combination of english and spanish words, spoken with the non-english accent and often contains words that are of neither language, or words with elements of both languages. may be spoken by someone who doesnt speak spanish and/or english well, or someone who speaks both very well. often used intelligently by switching languages for emphasis. also spoken by "latinos" in the united states who share parts of U.S. culture and culture from a latin american country, and prefer speaking both languages instead of one or the other (also can interchange languages at will).

parquear (par-ke-ar:, in english "to park" a vehicle, in spanish "estacionar") is an example of a spanglish word.

singlish

Singapore's very own version of english. A much curt and impatient form of english for those that reside in this rat-raced cosmo city.

Example of a singlish term:"Don't talk cock lah you"
Talk Cock means to spew nonsense from one's mouth or to utter ridiculous contentions.

Spanklish

Spanish is the language of love, love is the language of lovers, and English is the language of ... most everything else. So it was only a matter of time before they entwined themselves around each other and began engaging in a modern threesome. This term refers to any conversation that combines English, Spanish, and all things bedroom. ¡Porque cuando estas en cama, no puedas tener suficientes palabras ... ni suficientes lenguas!

Him: Mi amor, quiero que me lengua passé por tus labios.
You: Mm, si, speak Spanklish to me, bebe.

Singlish

Singaporean-accented English.
Basically, English used by a tiny Asian nation nobody knows until it sounds so Asian you don't understand it; even though the people there are much much smarter than you.

Derived from British, Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Indian, and Arabic words amongst others.

Similar to Manglish in Malaysia.

- "lah" the most famous and common example. Randomly added before commas and periods for no apparent reason.
"ken you help me wit fix car, lah?"
"yah lah/no lah!"

- "lor" - from Cantonese, used to emphasize a point
"you not study, then you go die lor!!!"
" how come I ask you call me wai you not call me leh?!"

- "meh" used like a question mark

- "sia/siao" - used in expressing disapproval, siao = more crude, 'crazy'
"dat lady look at me so crazy sia"

"siao lah! you go and die you kena sai!"

-----
- "izzit" from 'is it', but slurred
