Vietglish

Vietglish, Vinglish or Vietlish, is an informal term for a mixture of elements from Vietnamese and English.

The term ''Vietglish'' is first recorded in 1969. Other colloquial portmanteau words for Vietlish include (chronologically): ''Vietglish'' (1992), ''Vinish'' (2003), ''Vinglish'' (2010) and ''Vietnamiglish'' (2016).

This usage is said to be found in Vietnamese immigrant communities in majority-English-speaking countries. Borrowed English words are also commonly used in everyday Vietnamese both inside and outside Vietnam in informal contexts.
