Dunglish (portmanteau of Dutch and English; in Dutch steenkolenengels, literally: "coal-English", or nengels) is a popular term for an English spoken with a mixture of Dutch. It is often viewed pejoratively due to certain typical mistakes that native Dutch speakers, particularly those from the Netherlands, make when speaking English. The term is first recorded in 1965, with other colloquial portmanteau words including Denglish (recorded from 1983), Dutchlish (1986), and Dinglish (2003).

  • Le terme Dunglish, contraction de Dutch English, désigne non pas l'usage de mots anglais par les Néerlandais mais le type d'anglais parlé par ces derniers (aux Pays-Bas, on apprend l'anglais dès l'école primaire). L'influence du néerlandais sur l'anglais s'exerce dans trois domaines principaux : la prononciation, l'ordre des mots, le sens des mots. (fr)
  • Steenkolenengels is een benaming voor zeer slecht Engels, zoals dat wordt gesproken door Nederlandstaligen die het Engels onvoldoende beheersen. De term gaat terug op de taal die rond 1900 door Nederlandse havenarbeiders werd gebruikt om te communiceren met de bemanning van steenkolenboten uit Groot-Brittannië. Het woord wordt gebruikt voor taalfouten in het Engels die zijn terug te voeren op verwarring met het Nederlands. (nl)

  • Dunglish (portmanteau of Dutch and English; in Dutch steenkolenengels, literally: "coal-English", or nengels) is a popular term for an English spoken with a mixture of Dutch. It is often viewed pejoratively due to certain typical mistakes that native Dutch speakers, particularly those from the Netherlands, make when speaking English. The term is first recorded in 1965, with other colloquial portmanteau words including Denglish (recorded from 1983), Dutchlish (1986), and Dinglish (2003). English instruction in the Netherlands and Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, begins at an early age and continues as a basic school subject thereafter, with a number of university courses and programs entirely in English. English-language films are usually subtitled rather than dubbed. This education and exposure results in a relatively high general competence in English, yet mistakes are made. The Dutch word for the poorest form of Dunglish, steenkolenengels ("Coal English"), dates to about 1900 when Dutch port workers used a rudimentary form of English to communicate with the crews of English coal ships. Errors occur mainly in pronunciation, word order, and the meaning of words, so-called false friends and false cognates. Former Dutch ambassador and prime minister Dries van Agt supposedly once said "I can stand my little man" (translation of ik kan mijn mannetje staan, a Dutch idiom meaning roughly "I can stand up for myself"). The former leader of the Dutch Liberal Party (VVD), Frits Bolkestein, repeatedly referred to economic prospects as "golden showers", unaware of the term's sexual connotation. (en)
