Hi, please help clear this up for me. Thanks in advance.

Is manglish a word on its own or is it somekind of infusion between malaysian and english. If it is, what would you call this infusion.

Manglish is not a real word. It is probably a slang term for Malaysian English. I have heard similar terms for Korean English (Konglish) and Japanese English (Japlish), but none of these words are real. They are slang terms.

Best,
