	Globish - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Globish, a portmanteau of the words Global and English, is a simplified version of the English language that uses only the most common English words and phrases.
		This use of globish is expanding continuously, as a tool of common understanding in simple international communication.
		The alternatives, which are constructed languages such as Esperanto or Volapük did not reach the critical threshold in world utilization that their promoters expected, and thus did not until now become common world-wide means of expression, at the difference of globish.

	bits and pieces : when fringlish, spanglish, engrish, esperanto and others fail
		Globish is not like Esperanto or Volapuk; this is not a formally constructed language, but rather an organic patois, constantly adapting, emerging solely from practical usage, and spoken in some form or other by about 88 per cent of mankind.
		Globish has been partly spread by the internet, yet the computer is also becoming the guardian of “good” English.
		But Globish is not quite a language: it is a means to an end, a way of bringing millions into a global economy without the privilege of formal education, a world dialect, an international über-slang that, for the most part, leaves local languages intact.

	Globish is rubbish @ John Biesnecker dot com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		[Globish] uses a limited vocabulary of 1,500 words, taken from the Voice of America, among other sources, which can be put together clumsily to express more complicated thoughts.
		Little concern is given to the complexities of grammar, and he proposes that speakers of Globish say the same thing in different ways to make up for difficulties in pronunciation.
		The typical conversation in Globish could be grating to a native speaker, but get the job done between, say, a Kenyan and a Korean trying to navigate a business deal or asking for help at the airport check-in.

	Althouse: Globish.
		The point is that Globish/ scientific-English will not displace English within English-speaking cultures; but it will make global communication much easier and more effective - with benefits to economics, politics, business, science and technology, and any other areas that benefit from international cooperation.
		Globish doesn't sound like it has that potential, to become a unique language of its own, in each culture where it takes root.
		Globish kind of looks like the archaic Norwegian vocabulary I picked up from my father, where a library is a 'bookroom', a dictionary is a 'wordbook' and aunts and uncles are indeed father's-brother and mother's-sister.

		Globish has no such ambition, it is only a tool to communicate internationally.

		Globish is English reduced to about 1500 words as a means of communication between people who don't speak each other's language.
		It is not a language, no grammar or syntax, more a patois that has spread around the world aided by the Internet and by the fact that English is a relatively easy language to learn and use by dint of it's lack of rigid grammatical structure, like say French and German.
		Its chief promoter, astonishingly enough, is a Frenchman, Jean-Paul Nerrière, a linguist and retired computer executive who has earned the loathing of the French Establishment by insisting that Globish — simple, inelegant and almost universal — is the language of the present and the future.

	Le globish ? Il y a mieux !
		Le mouvement qui mène au globish est un mouvement descendant : il va d’une langue riche à une langue pauvre parce qu’il y a eu échec, parce que la langue riche s’est révélée impossible à maîtriser.
		Si on l’observe dans les situations réelles, on voit qu’il remplit sa fonction de truchement bien mieux que le globish ou que les autres formes de "broken English".
		Pour rendre les notions qu’expriment les 1500 mots du globish, il suffit de 1300 mots d’espéranto, plus une quarantaine de suffixes et préfixes, donc 1340 unités à mémoriser, qui permettent de former sans difficulté quelque 13 000 mots (or, on estime à 8000 le nombre de mots nécessaires à la vie quotidienne).
