Chinglish

This word was invented during the fall of 2012 after a student in a 7th grade math classroom noticed a misspelling on an Excel sheet. (The whole classroom bursted in laughter.) Of course, this was an intentional joke.

This word is a mix of two of the most widely spoken langauges in the world, Chinese and English. Simply put, Chinese + English = Chinglish.

Chinglish

A word used to describe hilariously broken English sentences and/or grammar that was intended to be an accurate depiction of the forementioned sentence, not specifically meant to describe only Chinese-English broken translations. but also other languages that misconstrue the meaning, vocabulary, and/or grammar of the sentence, and can be observed rarely, but also seen in other homogenous, large societies where English isn't used commonly other than just China.
