Tenglish (original) (raw)

Tenglish (Telugu: తెంగ్లిష్ (teṅgliṣ)), refers to various mixings of the Telugu and English languages. The name is a portmanteau of the names of the two languages and has been variously composed. The earliest form is Telugish (dating from 1972), then Teluglish (2000), Tinglish (2003), Telenglish (2010), and Telugish and Telish (both 2014).
