Polish Ponglish dialect arrives in England. Just as French and English combined to form Franglais, the Polish have their own linguistic cocktail: Ponglish. The slang takes in everything from taxes –­ taksy – to driving, whose Ponglish equivalent, drajwnic, seems unlikely until it is pronounced: driveneech.

Here's another: Japanese English... Engrish! It has its own website:

The Wired article about Chinglish, which I found very interesting, reminded me of it. ~~JudiKaye
