hello everyone..
what do u think will happen to the English language in the future as now as we noticed that so many kinds of englishes such as the 'Singlish' (Singaporian English), 'Manglish' (Malaysian english) etc... do u think we, who adopt and mix so many english language to our native language are able to learn or to correct ourselves via online? please kindly give your opinion. thanks! |

I do not think that Chinglish is ever spoken as a language (just as Pidgin English was spoken)
However, many of my Chinese friends will speak English badly, and I and others would say that what they say is Chinglish, but they would not understand me if I spoke Chinglish to them. It is not a language as such. |

| maybe at your place it seems easy but it's not over here. the mixing of english language with the native language is very common and it seems to be agreed by everyone. |
