  • The Tefltastic Janglish – English Dictionary
    The TEFLtastic Janglish – English Dictionary - Updated January 2014 Janglish, more often called Japlish, Japanese English or Wasei Eigo, is used here to mean English words and expressions that are used in Japanese in different ways to British and American English. This is something that has a big impact on how the Japanese communicate in English and on the difficulty of communicating in Japanese. It is of course impossible to have a complete dictionary, if only because new examples are being created all the time, but this list is pretty much complete in the sense of not excluding as it includes: - Japanese words and expressions made from English words and affixes - Words and expressions that have different, more restricted or more wide-ranging meanings in Japanese - Japanese abbreviations of English words and expressions - Some slang, old-fashioned, jargon and written forms that might not be recognised by the majority of Japanese - Irregular pronunciation changes - Words from other languages that Japanese sometimes assume to be English - Some rude words The biggest group that has been excluded is words and expressions that have different pronunciation in Japanese than in English in predictable ways, as the 5000 or so words that would include would overwhelm the more interesting and/ or troublesome examples given here without adding much to the guide to typical pronunciation changes I wrote here: http://edition.tefl.net/articles/home-abroad/japanese-english-pronunciation-chan ges/. As it is there are over 1100 examples here, making it much more comprehensive than many of the English-language guides to this point that you can pay good money for.
