Perglish is a social dialect joining the words English and Persian, to describe the new way that many Persian-Canadians are speaking their native language with many English substitute words. Following the Islamic revolution, a wave of Persians emigrated from Iran to English speaking countries such as England, U.S.A and Canada. Perglish, a modern dialect of Farsi (the Persian language), and English has been generated as not all members of the first and second generation immigrant community are able to converse fluently in either English or Farsi, or because one language may have a much simpler word to describe something.
Perglish: Bereem Hangout koneem.
(Let's go hangout)

Let's go to the ketabkhooneh.
(Let's go to the library)

Penglish is a gramatical modification to the language "English". Some examples of these changes are; Penglish: dinner in 2. English: The dinner will be in 2 hours/at 2pm. And; Penglish: How old do you have? English: How old are you? There is no time indication as the speakers don't need it.

What is the purpose of this you might ask? Penglish dates back to 2018 when the founder, Zak Ahmed, started using/teaching penglish to his Youtube audience, while hosting $1000 gaming challenges. And is commonly used in and around communities related to him.

Penglish speakers were once english speakers, that switched over due to the easiness of the language. Penglish speakers find it easy to read English, but find speaking it difficult.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
