Chinglish (also known as Chinese English) is spoken or written English that is either influenced by or poorly translated from the Chinese language. In South China (particularly the Lingnan region), the term "Chinglish" refers mainly to Cantonese-influenced English such as Hong Kong English, while in the rest of Mainland China it refers to English influenced by the tones, intonations and lexicons of Mandarin or other dialectal varieties of Chinese.
