Dunglish (portmanteau of Dutch and English; in Dutch: steenkolenengels [ˈsteːŋ.koː.lə(n)ˌɛ.ŋəls] , literally: "coal-English") is a popular term for an English spoken with a mixture of Dutch. It is often viewed pejoratively due to certain typical mistakes that native Dutch speakers, particularly those from the Netherlands, make when speaking English.
