Ponglish
Ponglish is a blend of two words, or portmanteau word, in Polish and English – denotes the product of macaronically mixing Polish- and English-language elements within a single speech production, or the use of “false friends” or of cognate words in senses that have diverged from those of the common etymological root. Ponglish is a common phenomenon among persons bilingual in Polish and English. When Polish phrases that do not properly translate into English are translated literally, they become humorous outcomes.
