Tinglish

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tinglish is an English dialect used by Thai people. English is more complicated than the Thai language and English grammar is easily understood.[1] Tinglish is a simple form of English that is usually hard to understand by English speakers. However, many words in Tinglish have a uniquely Thai pronunciation.[1] Time can be a confusing subject in Tinglish. Thais use a 24-hour clock instead of a 12-hour clock.[2]
