Some Great Websites of Japlish

And other Pidgins

Some of the Japlish sites are truly hilarious.  Click and Have a look!

Keywords:  Japlish, Jenglish, Chinglish, Konglish, International English, Englishes, Pidgins

Foreword

A Pidgin is a language, used primarily for trade, which consists of less lexis than that of the original language, and sometimes incorrect grammar as well.  Many of the "-ishes", such as Chinglish, Konglish, and Japlish may in some ways be considered Pidgins, and yet in some cases they consist of aggregious errors of translation, which oft times are very hilarious to native speakers of English.  My personal Pidgin Pages are NOT intended to 'poke fun' but rather to educate.  However, if you find some of the content entertaining, that's fine by me.
