Chingrish is corrupted English that originates most famously from Asian (esp. Japanese and Chinese) immigrants into English-speaking countries like America, the UK and Australia, but can also be found in people all over the world. These immigrants, in their attempt to utilize the English language, end up making a lot of mistakes in pronounciation and grammar that are either amusing or frightening to the native English speaker. Chingrish can be found everywhere, from food to clothing to advertisement billboards.

As from immigrants in English-speaking countries, it can also be spoken among Singaporeans in Singapore, where they might add "la" at the end of sentences.

It is also known as Engrish or Chinglish.
