THE "ISHES"

The following are Portmanteau s devised to describe certain local variants of English. Although similarly named, they are actually quite different in nature, with some being genuine Mixed Language s, some being instances of heavy Code-switching between English and another language, some being genuine local dialects of English used by first-language English speakers, and some being non-native pronunciations of English. A few portmanteaus (such as Greeklish and Pinglish ) are Transliteration methods rather than any kind of spoken variant of English.
