A rise in Chingllish

Teaching English in Germany I often hear examples of Ginglish or Deutschlisch even. But seemingly now English has been affected by the rise of China.

According to a Chinese website, the People's Daily Online, we can look forward to such delightful new words as:-

"Chinglish", "kweerboy", "drinktea" and "torunbusiness".

Seemingly the Global Language Monitor (GLM), added 20,000 new words to their database last year, twice as many as one year earlier, and 20 percent of them are Chinglish.
