[edit] Yangjing Bang English

A number of Chinese dictionaries translate Pidgin as "Yangjing Bang English" (洋泾浜英语) which is the pseudo-English used in Shanghai during Qing Dynasty. However, this article states it was used in southern China (Canton). So, there is a factual inconsistency in the dictionary translation.

I translated the article to Chinese under the assumption that "Yangjing Bang English" and "Chinese Pidgin English" are the same. If someone can confirm or refute this, it will be great. --Voidvector 02:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

It seems to be a non-worldwide view problem with this article, rather than a problem with the dictionary translations. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 04:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
