Vinish

Vinish

Vinish, also known as Vietlish, Vietglish or Vietnamese English is a mixed language of Vietnamese and English, often found in immigrant communities in majority-English-speaking countries. Some Vinish words, themselves corruptions of English, with English translation and comments in parentheses:

;"rađiô":radio; used more often than "truyền thanh";"tivi":TV; used more often than "truyền hinh";"xì căng đan":scandal; used or even known more often than "sự xúc phạm";"xe tăng":tankMost of these words are simply words from English, recast into the Vietnamese alphabet phonetically. This "language" is comparable to Spanglish, in which speakers may mix whole phrases of a second language into their speech.
