Tinglish (US and Thailand) ) or Thaiglish (UK) (also Thenglish, Thailish or Thainglish) is the imperfect form of English produced by native Thai speakers due to language interference from the first language . Differences from "native" English include errant pronunciation, unusual word choices, and grammatical anomalies, as well as innovative vocabulary items . ==Characteristics and examples== Characteristics and examples (direct translation) include : * omission of pronouns and of the verb ''be'' * use of present tense + "already" instead of past tense * non-use or incorrect use of articles, declension, prepositions, and conjugation. * addition of Thai final particles, e.g., ''I don't know na'' * frequent confusion between ''any'' and ''every''. * general misunderstanding of conditional constructions * pronunciation of silent letters in a word * omission of the consonant at the end of words ending in a diphthong and a consonsant, for instance "Mickey Mouse" pronounced "Mickey Mao", "white wine" pronounced "why why", and "news" pronounced "new". * inability to speak consecutive consonants, for instance "slow" pronounced "sah-low" * no understanding of double negatives * using "L" to replace an "R" sound * using "H" to replace an "S" sound * TH sound pronounced as "t", not as English "th" * using "N" to replace an "L" sound at the end of the word, for instance "school" pronounced "skoon" or "football" pronounced "futbon" * moving "S" on singular verbs to the subject, for instance "He's talk too much" instead of "He talks too much" * omission of prepositions, for instance "I wait you" instead of "I'll wait for you" or "I listen him" for "I listened to him". * confusion between using "very" (which should be used before adjectives, past participles used as adjectives, and adverbs) and "very much" (used after verbs), for instance "I very love my daughter" and "She beautiful very much". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tinglish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
