In times gone by, a language was created by a similar relationship between this region and the new traders to the mystic East.

 Readers Submissions: A one night stand in Savannakhet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Actually, as most readers know, dealing with Thinglish can be excruciatingly difficult, requiring not only supreme editing skills, but a deep understanding of the Thai psyche and the intuition of an Albert Einstein -- which is no excuse, of course, for the Post and The Nation to employ the people that they do.
Unlike my dear friend Stick (actually, he's not dear to me, nor a friend otherwise the shit wouldn't have made such offensive comments about my colleagues), we newspaper sub editors have to turn over many thousands of words a day, and always in a hurry.
Besides the difficulties of dealing with Thinglish, there are many other aspects of the job that throw up enormous obstacles, thereby making the whole process of publishing a newspaper one that is fraught with landmines.

The same applies to your own language should you wish her to learn that.

 Where Tibetans Write - Articles - Losang C Rabgey
Ordinary Tibetans from all corners of Tibet have never had so much direct contact with each other.
The exile mix of Tibetan, Hindi, and English is something I like to call "Thinglish:" untraditional, but it works.
This is a key to Tibetan survival beyond the land of snows—we approach what is around us and combine it with what we need and know to define a space uniquely ours.
