Vinish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vinish or Vietlish or Vietnamese English is a mixed language of Vietnamese and English, often found in immigrant communities in majority-English-speaking countries. Some Vinish words, with English translation and comments in parentheses:
- rađiô
- radio; used more often than truyền thanh
- tivi
- TV; used more often than truyền hinh
Most of these words are simply words from English, recasted 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.
