In addition, English spoken movies are not post-synchronized (dubbed) on Dutch television, giving most people the impression that the Dutch are fluent in English.

The Dutch (and Flemish) in practice sometimes make mistakes when speaking and writing English. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dunglish"

A mixed language is a language that arises when two languages are in contact and there is a high degree of bilingualism among speakers. (Occasionally, more than two languages may be involved.) A mixed language differs from a pidgin in that its speakers are fluent, even native, speakers of the languages involved in the mixture, whereas a pidgin develops when groups of people with no knowledge of each other's languages come into contact and have need of a basic communication system, e.g. for trade, but do not have enough contact to learn each other's language or to develop a lingua franca. A mixed language differs from a creole in that a mixed language has not evolved from a pidgin, while a creole has. Also, while creoles tend to have drastically reduced inflections, mixed languages sometimes retain the inflectional complexities of both parent languages. It differs from code-switching in that it is set in its grammar and vocabulary, rather than the choice being left to the mood of the speaker. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mixed language"
Mock German is a constructed language which is formed by modifying English in ways which stereotypes various features and characteristics, both real and imagined, of the German language. It is commonly found in jokes and in certain idioms and catch phrases, as well as being used as a dramatic convention in English-language cinema and television to signify that a character is speaking German, without having to use subtitles, or to mock a native German speaker's accent. In many instances, characters who use mock German are villians (and a significant subset of those are Nazis). Use of mock German in this fashion today is widely considered offensive, but was highly prevalent in the decades after World War II. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mock German"

Spanglish, a portmanteau of the words Spanish and English, is a name used to refer to a range of language-contact phenomena, primarily in the speech of the Hispanic population of the USA, which is exposed to both Spanish and English. These phenomena are a product of close border contacts or large bilingual communities, such as along the U.S.-Mexico border and throughout Southern California, northern New Mexico, Texas, Florida (especially Miami), and in New York City. It is also quite common in Panama, where the 96-year ( 1903- 1999) U.S. control of the Panama Canal has influenced many aspects of society (especially among the former residents of the Panama Canal Zone, commonly referred to as " Zonians"), and in Puerto Rico, which has been a United States territory since 1898, and in which English was used as the primary language of school instruction to the Spanish-speaking population until the 1940s. A "Spanglish" also arose in the speech of Gibraltar. "Spanglish" can also refer to the typical errors made by native speakers of one language learning the other. However, Spanglish can also exist in areas far from borders, where English phrases caught in movies, television or music become mingled in regular speech. ...more on Wikipedia about "Spanglish"
