Is Chinglish A Language?
After careful consideration and analysis of our information and survey results. We have come up with the conclusion that Chinglish is not a language, but an indirect dialect of English.
The dictionary definition of language is " the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting the use of words in a structured and conventional way." Chinglish suits this statement partly. Yes, Chinglish is a method of human communication and it can be both spoken and written. But, Chinglish is not deliberately structured. There is not a definite structured format for speaking and writing Chinglish. Different people can have their own way of expressing themselves using Chinglish terms, which can have different spellings and word use for different phrases. There are no definite rules and dictionaries for Chinglish.
As mentioned before, Chinglish is more commonly used in texts and on the Internet. A qualified language shouldn't only be used online, it should be used everywhere in all forms. Chinglish is most definitely not qualified to be a language as it mostly occurs online.
Therefore, we have come out with the conclusion that Chinglish is definitely not a language and is a dialect of English. The dictionary definition of dialect is "a particular form of language which peculiar to a specific region or social group." We think that this best suits Chinglish as it's base is English and Chinese and it is only relatable to Chinese people.
To Sum Up: Chinglish is not a language, but a dialect of English
