CHINGLISH

Chinglish, for me, is a wonderful example of the creativity of the Chinese language. Chinglish is not solely incorrect English; it is English with Chinese characteristics... Linguistic variations exist in any language including my mother tongue - there are wonderful German websites making fun of the language - and they possess a creative potential that we should cherish more. At the same time, the re-interpretation of a language allows for a tremendous amount of humour, and humour is, and has always been, a form of communication across cultures. It is my sincerest hope that Chinglish.de will continue to be understood as a bridge, rather than a border... My name is Oliver and I curate Chinglish specimen in this virtual Chinglish museum.
