WHAT DOES DENGLISH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Denglish

Denglisch

Denglisch or Denglish is a portmanteau of the German words Deutsch and Englisch. The term is used in all German-speaking countries to refer to the increasingly strong influx of English or pseudo-English vocabulary into German. Many synonyms exist, including Germish,, Gerglish,, Angleutsch, Genglish, and Engleutsch. Both these and Denglish are also used to refer to incorrect English that is influenced by German. To some extent, the influence of English on German can be described in terms of normal language contact. The term Denglisch is however mostly reserved for forced, excessive exercises in anglicization, or pseudo-anglicization, of the German language. The forced introduction of anglicisms in especially in marketing and business terminology experienced a peak during the 1990s and early 2000s, but the ubiquity of practice has since made it much less fashionable or prestigious and since the later 2000s many publicistic commentators have argued against it.
