  An Introduction to Finglish  Jenni Tuominen
The term "Finglish" was coined in the late 1920s by Professor Martti Nisonen at Suomi College in Hancock, Michigan to describe a linguistic phenomenon he encountered in America.
Finglish is spoken in daily linguistic contact between Finnish speaking immigrants and speakers of English.
