Kanglish
Kanglish (Kannada: ಕಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್) is a macaronic language of Kannada and English.
The name is a portmanteau of the names of the two languages and was first recorded earliest in 1993. Other less common terms are Kannalish (recorded from 2000), Kannadlish (2006) and Kanlish (2009).[1]
At present in Karnataka, almost all urban people and some rural people talk in this language. This language is result of communication of English and Kannadigas.
Examples
En sir samachara? : whats the matter sir?
Hello, tiffin aytha? : Hello, have you had your tiffin?
Swalpa move madi : Just move a bit.
Swalpa brake haki : Please apply the brakes.
Yav movie hakiddare? : Which movie is playing?
gollark: Why.
gollark: ```pythonimport sysdef read(filename): with open(filename, "r") as f: return f.read()def write(filename, data): with open(filename, "w") as f: return f.write(data)this_file = sys.argv[0]write(this_file, read(this_file).replace("filename", "filenamefilename"))```This one definitely works and does things.
gollark: sys.argv[0] *should* be it.
gollark: Let's go with "nearly self-modifying".
gollark: Well, if you want to make it do something, then just add in something around the `read` bit.
