	Konglish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Konglish is the use of English words (or words derived from English words) in a Korean context or a Korean dialect mixed with English loanwords.
		Konglish is commonly mistaken as the term for Korean Romanization.
		Another aspect of Konglish is the inclusion of English words in Korean sentences, or the use of Korean words in English sentences.

	MED Magazine
		Konglish can be broken down into four types: (1) words whose meanings have been altered; (2) words that have been fabricated to mean something entirely different from the borrowed word or phrase; (3) words in which the pronunciation has changed; (4) and words or phrases which have been abbreviated.
		Konglish also incorporates 'pseudo loan-words': English terms that are used by Koreans but only after making a direct translation from Korean to English.
		While Konglish might be the bane of English teachers who are on the frontlines of language teaching in Korea, it is, like it or not, a unique cultural-linguistic phenomenon.

		Usually the Konglish involved is a couple of catch phrases and, not surprisingly, it is the English used in advertising that is most likely to be 'grammatically correct' according to American English usage.
		Konglish is definitely a stylistic component in Korean clothing; it is used to associate clothing items with the Western priority of 'fashion', 'style' or an active lifestyle (as in sportswear) over functionality.
		Konglish is not an unfamiliar term for Koreans, many of my students will accuse other student of speaking Konglish if they use particularly 'incorrect' (given that the purpose of the class is to teach perfect American style English) or amusing English in class.

	Introduction to Konglish
		Konglish is a word used to describe Korean pronounciated English.
		Teachers often think that this is a good experience for English students to practice more in conversation and become fluent in the language which is now becoming universal.
		I have enclosed some of these examples of Konglish in quotes taken from many of my students.

	Asian EFL Journal: English Language Teaching and Research Articles
		The term Konglish (Korean-English) is commonly used by Koreans to indicate the word they have spoken is what they believe to be a Korean invention using English word(s) to describe something, and that that word is not in common English usage.
		Konglish has different forms, and applying the definition of Akmajian, Demers, Farmer and Harnish (1993), certain Konglish words are not code switching, but in fact 'borrowing' for "…the foreign words come to be used as regular vocabulary items", (1993:260), and are listed in the Korean dictionary.
		Konglish words can cause misunderstanding and confusion, but the majority may be no more confusing than some British English is to American English.

		This so-called "Konglish" list is of my own making, compiled by myself from my own study and observance of the Korean language from 1995 to the present.
		Konglish is part of the Korean language, and nobody owns it.
		This is NOT Konglish, it is KORENCH, I felt it worthwhile mentioning it here, because many Koreans think it is English.

	The Banker's Tale
		If you are one of the uncounted millions who speak Chinglish, Konglish, Japlish, Singlish, or any of the other exotic flavours that English is dished up in, well this is all blah.
		Or if Chinglish, Japlish or Konglish are your mediums, then chooks are what they make from sawdust and fat in Kentucky Fried, a.k.a.
		And if you are old enough and silly enough to know a bit of Australian trivia, 'my chooks' are what a certain grizzled Queensland Premier used to fondly call the hacks from the press, as he fed them their daily deceptions.

		Other tirades against “Konglish” are often delivered by various Korean government officials with a PhD.
		Is not some of the Konglish made by crunching at standard English so expressive that it carries standard English to new limits of beauty and expression?
		Are we shopping for eyes or windows? Neither obviously, but what Konglish takes in at the same time it attempts to speak out is the quirkiness of expressing self while trying to understand life.

	Education \| 'Konglish' replaces good English
		Very bad indeed, in the view of a commentary published in the Korea Herald, in which the writer laments the state of "Konglish", the hybrid of jazzy Korean and messy English that, "like heavy traffic is an unpleasant but tolerable side of life" in the East Asian capital.
		The recent opening of a bedazzling new multi-billion dollar airport in Seoul, where as many as 49 signs were subsequently discovered to have fallen prey to writers of Konglish, spoke "volumes about the state of the translation and proofreading industry in Korea," the paper said.
		A few weeks previously, the vernacular newspaper Dong-a Ilbo had reported on a study conducted by Lee Ye Shik, a professor of English education at Kyungpook National University, that found hundreds of similar examples of Konglish in four first-year junior high school textbooks.

	Engrish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Country-specific terms, such as Japlish or Janglish for Japan, Konglish for Korea, and Chinglish for China also exist, although they can be considered more derogatory, with the possible exception of Chinglish, which enjoys widespread use in China (by English-speaking Chinese people, as well as resident foreigners).
		For the same reasons that a Chinese character or a Japanese Kanji tattoo seems "exotic" to many in the West, Asians may appreciate English words or gibberish for its aesthetic appeal alone; straight lines, frequent symmetry, and the unembellished curves of Latinate letters may all appeal to Asian senses of aesthetics and balance.
		Some video games are particularly noteworthy for poor Japanese-to-English translations, resulting in memorable Engrish phrases, such as "all your base are belong to us" from the game Zero Wing, "Truck have started to move" and "I feel asleep" from Metal Gear and "you fail it" from Blazing Star.
