- Crenglish
Crenglish is a
portmanteau of theEnglish language with either Creole or Croatian.Creole
Even though
Haitian Creole is already a combination of various languages, it is sufficiently well established for a further combination of Haitian Creole with English to be recognised, if only colloquially.* [http://www.brikouri.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-5877.html An example of this Crenglish]
Croatian
Crenglish can also mean Croatian and English combined in one sentence. This is mostly seen in the
Croatian diaspora , mainly among youth and teens. Most do not know that they are speaking it, and usually comes naturally. Along with the youth speaking it, so does the elderly. This is mostly only in common with immigrants. They seem to know a slight amount of English and while trying to speak it throw in the Croatian equivalent.Example
Here is an example of Crenglish:
Crenglish: "Hello, moj ime is Ivan."
Croatian: "Dobar dan, moj ime je Ivan." English: "Hello, my name is John."
