Denglisch or Germish or Engleutsch (in Portuguese : German, English ) is a linguistic fusion , which designates the interlingua (auxiliary language) or hybrid language, originated from the mixture of words from German and English. It occurs mainly in cities in the United States and Germany . In Austria, a third version is preferably used: Engleutsch (fusion of „ Engl isch” and „D eutsch “).
It is the contraction of the international terms D eutsch or German ( German ) and English ( English ). These relatively new terms, which first appeared in the mid-nineteen nineties, fulfill the role of identifying an emergent form of the German language in which, above all, a strong influence of the English language predominates. In this linguistic process, its practitioners absorb not only Anglo terminology but also grammatical structures.
The term “Denglisch” is often used as a pejorative, depending on social circles. The Verein Deutsche Sprache is a German association that defends the correct use of the national language and is vehemently opposed to the recognition of this new speak German. Since this phenomenon is, unnecessarily, widespread in the German-speaking space, even Anglophones name it pejoratively German linguistic submissiveness (” German linguistic submission “). [ 1 ]
