Tanglis is a type of English, I'm afraid it's illegal to even call it English. Tanglis is spoken by the residents of Chapri Land. It makes you doubt the existence of life and question on superficial beings that will taunt you day and night. Tanglis kills you from the inside and leaves a permanent stain of trauma engraved on you heart and brain until you leave this earth. Beware of Tanglis.
