Chinglish
Chinglish implies poor translation from Chinese to English. This is common in China where English is not their mother tongue. The above shows the basketball label which is actually a rugby ball. So Yao Ming played on this ball huh. For more Chinglish check it out at Ah Soon.

Actually, it isn’t a rugby ball either. A rugby ball has more girth and also more rounded tips. In American Football, a ball like you see above is used… It is slightly more aerodynamic than its rugby counterpart… perfect for throwing very long distances! Great website… I love your work!

I thought Chinglish meant Chinese and English spoken together, and Engrish was poorly spoken English

Chinglish is actually Chinese and English spoken/mashed together.. much like “Spanglish”
Engrish is many orient/asian types that butcher English.

Actually, Chinese abhorr the term “Engrish” when used to describe all Asian cultures. In Japanese, there is no distinct R or L so we the r and l used interchangeably in written works. Even when spoken, the letter used is something inbetween. (Frlied Rlice pops into my mind.) On the other hand, Chinese has very distinct sounds for R and L, so the errors made do not relate to that.
