Ideas of the Near East in the general American popular imagination in the first half of the 20th century were mostly limited to Bible stories or the cigarette pack camel and pyramids. Then a handful of popular books appeared by Armenian and Syrian immigrant writers in the 1940s and nightly news broadcasts of the Second Arab-Israeli war in the 1950s superimposed a new set of images. In the early ’60s, the movies Never on Sunday (1960), America America (1963), and Zorba the Greek (1964) crystalized a growing interest in the Eastern Mediterranean. The B-movie Dark Odyssey (1961), depicting a Greek sailor on shore leave in Manhattan, included a scene shot in Port Said, one of the small “Oriental” nightclubs along 8th Ave. with nightly live music during the ’40s and ’50s catering to a primarily Greek and Armenian immigrant clientele where Turkish was a lingua franca.

The film that most people saw, though, was the gaudiest and most fantastically Orientalist of them — Cleopatra, starring Elizabeth Taylor, released June 1963. That’s the one that the housewife, the salaryman, and the dumb kid alike were all most likely to have seen. For Chevrolet-driving, Crest-toothpaste America, that’s the one that solidified the notion of a world of gauze-covered women shielded from a bright desert sun by palm fronds. And that’s the one that a small independent record label of schlockmeisters who produced generic music sold directly through supermarkets and dime stores latched on to as their marketing strategy — for a tape of about a half hour of material recorded around 1962 by a group of wedding band musicians.

The recording session was arranged and paid for by a trumpet player whose name no one now recalls. He brought in a band of creative and intellectual no-name, down-at-the-heels Brooklyn-based players who eked out a living by playing ethnic weddings for Jews, Armenians, and Greeks. He added a bongo drummer and a blind oudist from Turkey who didn’t speak English, and the group blasted out a Middle Eastern-jazz hybrid record in an afternoon.

The group met in a bar before the session, where the trumpet player showed them tunes scrawled on a stained cocktail napkin. They recorded songs drawn from repertoires of Armenian, Greek, and Jewish material that they knew, along with a tango in the style of “Miserlou,” a pop standard composed by the Greek-American Nick Roubanis and popularized by singer and music publisher Tetos Demetriades. The session’s leader got too loaded during the recording and split three quarters of the way through the studio time. The last couple songs were done without him or the bongo guy.

Somehow that tape wound up in the hands of the cheapo record label, who issued it with no artist credits, “exotica” titles for the songs, a drawing of Elizabeth Taylor on the cover, and the word CLEOPATRA in big letters on the front — a deceptive cash-grab on the popularity of the movie. Poorly pressed, sloppily packaged, hastily recorded, it was made to be disposable. And disposed of, it was. One for the junk heap.

Among the jobbing musicians who banged out this porto-World Music flotsam were two extraordinarily gifted players whose esteem and notoriety have grown over the decades that followed. They were 25 years apart in age and from different worlds. But one day in 1962, they both needed the fifty bucks and took the gig. One was the Sicilian-American clarinetist and composer Joe Maneri. The other was Hrant Kenklulian.

Udi Hrant, as he is usually called, was an Armenian, born blind in northwestern Turkey in 1901. He and his family survived the Armenian genocide in Konya, where he began studying oud as a teenager. Though the 1920s and ’30s, he lived in poverty, supporting himself playing in nightclubs and earning a reputation as a performer of exceptional depth and soulfulness. Many of the recordings that he made in Istanbul during that period were released in the U.S. for the immigrant population. When a wealthy Greek paid his fare to the U.S. in 1950 to have a procedure that might give him eyesight, there was already a waiting public of Armenians who knew his music. He spent more than a decade touring the Armenian communities of the U.S. — Boston, Fresno, Los Angeles, Detroit, Washington, DC, and New York — performing in concert halls and house parties, teaching a budding generation of Armenian oudists, and recording for small, independent labels — Aris, Smyrnaphone, Oriental Moods, and Near East. The latter of those labels was a short-lived subsidiary of Orrin Keepnews’s Prestige Records, and the resulting LP, originally issued as Eastern Standard Time in 1962 and subsequently reissued as Turkish Delights, included several tracks with jazz saxophonist Johnny Griffin. Prestige had been dabbling in Near Eastern music, issuing several LPs of Greek clarinetist Spero Spyros, and in 1963 released the third Arab-jazz hybrid LP by the Brooklyn-born bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik. Griffin had played on the first two Abdul Malik LPs along with Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, and the Syrian-born Brooklyn violinist Naim Karacand. Hrant was in his early 60s when he gamely attended the session that resulted in the Cleopatra LP. That same year, he went back on tour overseas. He died in 1978 and is buried in Istanbul. His recordings have mostly been anthologized, notably by Harold Hagopian (son of one of Hrant’s primary disciples, Richard Hagopian) on his Traditional Crossroads label.

Joe Maneri was born in Brooklyn in 1927, the only child of a second-generation Sicilian-American carpenter and immigrant mother. Raised in Williamsburg in the Depression, he learned clarinet from an Italian neighbor. A lifelong devotee of Lester Young, he played in ad hoc jazz groups in neighborhood bars in the ’40s. A dreamer, he struggled to find work through the ’50s but hooked up with a cadre of “far out” musicians who introduced him to the German composer and conductor Joseph Schmid, a former student of Alban Berg’s and an exponent of the Second Viennese School of serial twelve-tone composition. Maneri plodded devotedly through a course of study of serialism with Schmid while pursuing musicians’ union jobs. He played a lot of Greek and Jewish weddings, where drinking was part of the gig. In 1963, his band recorded seven original songs that incorporated elements of all of his experiences — modernist atonalism, ethnic Brooklyn, and a freedom-loving style of improvised jazz not far removed from the parallel post-bop innovations of Ornette Coleman — in hopes that Atlantic Records (run by Istanbul-born Turk Ahmet Ertegun) would be interested in making an album. Atlantic declined. The composer Gunther Schuller, meanwhile, supported Maneri with periodic gigs and commissions through the 1960s. Schuller ultimately hired him to teach at the New England Conservatory, where he spent the 1970s and ’80s theorizing and teaching microtonal music, ultimately co-authoring a book on the subject in 1986. His knowledge of klezmer repertoire and technique influenced a generation of younger performers that sprouted up in the 1980s, and his improvising synthesized his complex composition, his down-home working-class musical life, and his personal spiritual journey. Like Hrant, his music spoke plainly and from the heart, with an outrageously sophisticated vocabulary and technique. From the late 1980s until his death in 2009, he performed and recorded prolifically. Among his recordings was one he called “Gardenias for Gardenis,” in tribute to the Greek clarinetist Costas Gadenis, who performed and recorded prolifically in the 1940s and was billed as “the Greek Benny Goodman.”

This group of recordings seems to represent the earliest recording session of Joe Maneri’s and among the last of Udi Hrant’s, a coincidence organized by an as-yet anonymous performer. The drummer, pianist, and bassist on the session were Joe’s band at the time, the same group on the 1964 demo session for Atlantic (issued on CD in Japan in 1998 under the title Paniots 9).

The session’s drummer, Pete Dolger, appears to have been a second leader of the band. Apart from appearances on at least one early 60s LP on MGM under the leadership of trumpet player Michael Hartophilis (b. ca. 1920; d. 1993), this album appears to be the sum total of his entire discography released in his lifetime, and no further biographical information has come to light. The fact that both bassist John Beal, pianist Don Burns, and Udi Hrant also make appearances on the Hartophilis MGM records tempts us to name Hartophilis as this session's horn player and musical director, but that remains conjecture.

The Atlantic demo session and a 24-minute free improv live duo performance with Maneri recorded in front of an audience of about eight people (ca. 1963-64, issued on CD in 2008 as the Peace Concert) are the only other recordings of Dolger. The two parted ways shortly thereafter when Maneri stopped playing wedding gigs. “We were wedding players, full time,” Maneri told Stu Vandermark in 2006; “That was our Real Job, so to speak. […] We weren’t in the ‘jazz scene.’ We respected jazz for jazz. We knew about Coltrane. […] I wasn’t really ‘knowing’ Coltrane’s music. Cause I was the type that didn’t buy records. and never listened to anything. Early on, when I was 18, 19, 20, 21, I started to get the feeling that there was no chance that in a lifetime I would ever be in a jazz circle. So, I just turned it off, so to speak, and didn’t listen to anything. Just like that.”

Once record collectors noticed the Cleopatra record, it seemed so peculiar that the rumor circulated that it was a Sun Ra session. That was the only explanation anyone could make for its existence. Maneri himself heard of its release through a friend who happened across it in 1963, bought a copy for himself, gave it away to a student years later, and then forgot about it. It wasn’t until the ’90s when a guy in a record store noticed that the clarinet sound like Joe and played it to him that it came back to him. Some of it. When he listened, he remarked, “if I knew it was going to be listened to 40 years later, I would have played better!”

In 2018, the UK Trunk label issued a raw transfer of a stereo copy of the Cleopatra LP in less-than-ideal condition digitally through the big download channels. Their blurb about it perpetuates the Sun Ra-connection rumor. So, we present here the best quality mono restoration that we have been able to produce, in a better running order with as much detail as we have so far been able to gather. We offer it to you at no cost and as a gift to the memory of the musicians involved. Corrections and additions will be gratefully received.

This's certainly not just what I expected from an author that formulated the rather one-of-a-kind suggestion of the NPCs in computer game being actually active as well as real individuals embeded storage tanks from goo. There were actually absolutely no happy individuals within this publication apart from one, as well as they placed him in a psychological establishment. The small grab is actually a hexagon sits at the top, and also the 2nd this comes under deep space, your game mores than. By comparison, in a problem game time works like an egg cooking timer: fracture a degree just before your patience ends and the timer is flipped; your store of persistence is renewed. Enjoying popular music demands that individuals open up the media gamer or Groove Music application and also pop this sideways from their monitor along with their game. The Hunger Games is high quality YA, smartly created, and also despite its own imperfections this's worthy of effectiveness. This brings in the listing due to the fact that is one of the best addicting and also straightforward games you'll obtain your practical. I kept viewing The Despising Activity on my Twitter, Instagram, and also Goodreads timetable as well as because that is actually been actually collecting higher scores, certainly my inquisitiveness was piqued. Does Not Commute is actually a clever activity that incorporates driving and challenge aspects to offer you along with a suspenseful as well as unique experience. I specifically suched as the opening stock, which provided a concrete capability test surrounding activities like deciding on a word that ought to be actually gotten rid of off a paragraph or testing your callback after reviewing an extract. Quite potentially the most effective LEGO video game to date, LEGO Superstar Wars: The Pressure Awakens is a certain breath of clean Hoth air for the stagnating flick franchise-turned-LEGO game formula.

2022/04/27 English

In the morning I read "Mysterious country Japan" by Courrier Japon a little. Reading the article about Japanese 'salarymen', I thought about myself. Once I thought that 'salarymen' are idiots basically. I even thought that they had lost their own characters, or their life was a symbol of conservativism. I wanted to live by expressing myself so never wanted to live such a life. And now, I live as a salaryman. Yes, the bias that salarymen's life tends to be a cowardly life is crap. I found that this life has its own taste.

In the morning I attended to the room my Indonesian friend Judith had opened on Clubhouse. I read my journal out loud as usual. The part about Banksy who is an artist from England. Although I couldn't say it well, I tried to say that Banksy was the person who destroys our point of view and also 'reconstruct' it. Yes, he is a great trickster. Or he is the latest actual artist. He might be not far from Picasso or Andy Warhol.

Today's reading was Brady Mikako's "Europa Calling Returns" which used Banksy's art as its cover. While reading it, I listened to Blur's album "Think Tank" (This album also shows Banksy's art as its jacket). I had not listened to this album when it had been released, but I found that it is a cool one that shows its true charm. Not pop as their other ones, but it has a certain power that grips our soul exactly. I can't judge Blur's recent albums and it might show my limit. I want to listen to their "The Magic Whip" seriously.

The reality of England and Europe Brady Mikako writes is very plain and clear. We can learn about politics from various perspectives. Although I have not read it completely, it makes me about satire. I thought about this from her article about a caricature, and also thought that Brady Mikako's columns themselves are based on the spirit of enjoying satire. We don't need to discuss politics with a serious attitude. Relativize the object and blow it away. I might need that attitude. But I don't want to follow an attitude such as "No War, No Abe".

Magical strike England -

A salaryman

Works aside with Alfred (villain boi)

I imagine him being strict and find everything ridiculous.

He's a business man that handles everything

Always wearing his working suits

Points out anything ridiculous he sees.

Imagine him working in his house or not.

Pretty much handles Alfred's business

Doesn't quite understand Alfred at times.

Probably comes home after a long day at work , makes tea yet stress out.

Fanverse Friday!

We didn’t necessarily get a ton of headcanons this time, but hey; it’s ok! This is a fairly new blog, after all. We hope to get more Alternate-Universe headcanons in the future!

We’ll still accept headcanons until 11:59 pm EDT Tonight. But without further ado, here are the headcanons so far!

The company where Magical Strike (France), Mr. Salaryman (England), and the Company-Chair’s Son (America) work specializes in Hospitality and Tourism; the company owns several hotels.

The glasses Arthur wears filter out blue light, since he works on a computer most of the day

Magical Strike feels strongly about workers rights because he entered at a business level. He now has a low position at corperate level, but still empathises with the business-level employees.

Alfred is a prodigy and was very good at mathematics and business in school and graduated early. He studied business and law at Harvard.

Those are all the headcanons we’ve revieved so far; feel free to send us more!

Our next event, the ship of the month, is August 31. The ship is PrussiaXJapan in any form; please send us headcanons for this ship!

Have a great day, Hetalians!

Anime: Fuckin’ Nationalism and Torture all up in these animation cells

Watched two different new anime last night, and both had me a little more worried than I already was with what shows up in Japanese media.

One had the absurd premise that a modern salaryman was sent into an alternate past and transformed into a pubsecent girl wizard who leads a strikeforce of magic users fighting for the Germans on the Western Front of an alternate WWI.

For starters...Japan in World War I was allied to France and England, sinking German ships and capturing German soldiers late in the war. The narrative opens up revealing details of the world, basically an alternate Europe, with different stylized flags for everyone (hey Japan, you’re really good at making German duchy flags...not so good at getting that anglo and latin societies flags don’t feature 36 colors and lots and lots of emblems) and then goes waaaaaayyyy past my comfort zone as it reveals that Germany...or the Empire or whatever they are...is surrounded by enemies hellbent on destroying it, and that all these enemies are envious of the power and culture of the Germans, and so the Germans wage a war to free themselves of these enemies.

This isn’t just a wonky reimagining of the start of World War I, it also sounds an awful lot like a pretty simple allegory for Japan. Nationalism and old imperial sentiments are on the rise here, and in many places these aren’t your slicked back hair ‘alt-right nazi’ ‘we would just like an ethno state, so please leave’ shit, I mean like ‘Koreans aren’t people and we need Manchuko back’ shit. Japan has had a long and weird affinity for the Third Reich, lots of symbolism, characters, costumes, stories, and often it’s an exercise in telling stories of a valiant master race who is being subjugated by foreign enemies and how they regain their strength and triumph...stories that if just exclusively told from a Japanese perspective would come across...and probably be written up as dangerously nationalistic. This anime takes the third reich, and moves even further back, reimagining Germany merely as the perfect Japan of Europe, fighting for survival amidst a sea of enemies. This of course with the creepy anime girl baggage, I kinda had to tune out of the episode only about a quarter of the way through...even if the character is supposed to be ‘evil’ as the title suggests, often the concept of ‘good and evil’ is highly subjective, and evil is treated as merely al alternate point of view that’s valid to root for.

The second was a period cop drama...a fucked up period cop drama. Set in the Edo period, probably in the 18th century, there’s a detective working for the Arson and Theft department of the Shogun’s police...or whatever the relevant agency in Edo Japan was...I mean, theft and arson in a society of paper and wood houses and lacquer everywhere would be pretty big crimes right? Anyway, this show was kinda messed up in a whole other way. It had the kinda jazzy music you get in Japanese cop dramas...you see a criminal get nabbed, then taken back for questioning.

The questioning, under guidance from the titular hero of the show, involves flaying the suspect, then driving a nail through their foot, and pouring hot wax over it, presumably because the nail would transmit the heat into the wound. The hero is presented as this intense, bad ass dude who gets the info he needs by any means necessary...but...when the guy doesn’t talk he keeps him in jail...and other characters come by the guys cell to talk about ‘hey that dude that mini crucified you and ripped all the skin off your shoulders? He had a criminal executed once, and is now taking care of the guys child...he’s just...so...manly and soft hearted.’

So then this torture detective comes by, and shares a drink with the prisoner, he finds out the guy was down on his luck and had been an orphan after his grandma died...then as the detective leaves...he says in effect ‘I wish I’d been so lucky as to have a grandma who died.’ Like...’yeah, being an orphan can lead you to a life of crime...but I had it so much worse...giant venomous centipedes raised me and I was daily mauled by wild bears...and now I’m chief of police for this suburb and when I’m not torturing suspects I’m being a GOOD DAD.’

So...historically speaking there’s no reason to assume that these types of brutal interrogations and summary executions weren’t completely the norm. The Shogunate was a dictatorship, and order was strictly preserved with extreme prejudice...but...when presenting a narrative you can show the brutality of the era without also glorifying it...and the supposed result. The show in effect has your hero a torturer with an absolute dedication to enforcement of the laws and summary punishments...but with a heart of gold and a deep sense of honor and justice. The ideal is a guy who follows the rules, and bends them only to more judiciously uphold the law, and wont get squeamish when it’s time to cut off a dudes balls to make him talk.

Both of these are currently airing I think, and despite the fact we all kinda treat foreign media as its own thing, I was thinking about anime from other periods in Japan’s history, the kinda...messages that appear in the setting, the characters, the depiction of places and events. Think of these shows as being present in a media landscape...like how you have TV shows that you regularly turn to, and are part of the cultural tapestry of your country. You bemoan that too many people watched Duck Dynasty...or remember how people were getting upset with 24 for its depiction of torture and the idea of this constant terrorist threat. Now imagine a show where you get an allegorical version of the Indian Wars, where the US isn’t the bad guy, and the indigenous groups depicted all had it coming. Or where your cop and detective shows are literally just ways to demonstrate what the preferred form of masculinity is...absolute devotion to the law, and a brutal indifference to suffering and pain in others. Can you imagine the discourse ‘WHY ISN’T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT BEAT COP AND RECORD OF THE SAVAGE WAR? THEY’RE KINDA PROBLEMATIC.’

The thing is, you also have competing programming that takes an entirely different approach to period stories and just...I liked Hyouge Mono, it was an amusing historical political drama/comedy, but Oribe never came across as the ideal...no one really was, everyone was fickle, brutal, vain, misguided...even the most aesthetic and philosophical characters would be knocked down a peg just to show they weren’t ideologically perfect. Looking at 80′s and 90′s anime too shows a lot of stuff that was kinda ‘ra ra work hard and be friends with your coworkers’ but not an explicitly revisionist narrative that starts digging up the old imperial sentiments and saying ‘you know what we haven’t done in a while...thought about conquering the mainland.’

#japan is a beautiful place #I love the culture #and the history is amazing #I kinda never wanna leave in spite of the obvious language barrier #but god damn modern Japan has some serious cultural issues #and it's not just 'well you need to look at it outside an imperialist american attitude you liberal scum'#it's like...nah...torture is bad...wanting to annihilate ethnic groups is bad no matter who is saying it

Dictionary Of Glishes: Spanglish, Japanglish, Denglish And More

Languages don’t live in separate boxes. While we might treat English and Arabic and German as entirely different, they’re constantly interacting with and changing each other. This used to be much more common — that’s why English has so many words that come from Latin and French — but the process changed slightly once languages were standardized. When languages intermingle today, they can combine to form a whole new kind of language. English in particular has mashed up with a number of other languages and created a whole slew of different varieties of English: “glishes.”

What’s A Glish?

In all honesty, “glish” is a word we just made up. But it’s a useful concept.

English has become a global language, largely because of England’s colonialist past and the United States’ grip on cultures the world over. Often that means it’s the go-to second language for people to learn in order to connect with the global marketplace. English is practically an international auxiliary language. It’s not most people’s first language, but it’s a way that native German, French, Japanese and Arabic speakers can learn to communicate more easily with each other. Logistically, it’s much easier for everyone to learn the same second-language rather than have to learn everyone else’s first language. This isn’t to say that English being the go-to language for communication is a purely good thing, but it’s undeniably a useful tool.

English being widely used around the world means that it is constantly brushing up against other languages, which gives birth to new varieties of English. It’s not simply a matter of going from your native tongue to English and then back; they tend to mix together and create something new. That’s what we’re calling a “glish.” One of the most famous is Spanglish, which is the mixture of Spanish and English. These two languages generally mix when people code-switch from one to the other, which is exemplified in phrases such as “pero like.” But not every language pairing is the same. Depending on the local culture, the use of English may be celebrated, reviled or ambivalently tolerated. This has led to a proliferation of glishes, all of which act differently.

Varieties Of English From Around The World

Each glish is its own complicated thing, and they are constantly shifting and moving. Here’s an overview of some of the most popular around the world.

Spanish + English = Spanglish

If you know one glish, it’s probably Spanglish, as it’s widely spoken in Latinx communities across the United States. While Spanglish is not easy to define because it lives between two languages, the word generally refers to any mixture of Spanish and English within a single conversation.

Linguists are somewhat split on what exactly Spanglish is. Some say it’s a form of code-switching, which is when people mix together two languages. Others say it could be a pidgin, which is a language that forms when two groups of people who don’t speak the same language try to meet in the middle. No matter what its linguistic designation, Spanglish is important in many places, and some people see it as a way to subvert the role of English.

Bengali + English = Banglish

The only official language of Bangladesh is Bengali, but English has played a major role in the country for centuries. English was brought to Bangladesh forcefully when the East India Company adopted the language as its official way of doing business in 1835. While English was mostly used for governmental and administrative purposes at first, it became more widely used over the course of the 122 years when it was an official language of the region. Even after it stopped being used “officially,” it was promoted as an important language to learn for Bangladeshi people to connect with the rest of the world. As Bengali and English pushed up against each other, Banglish was born.

Because of this extended period of contact, Banglish can be one of the more complex varieties of English. The Bengali language has absorbed a number of English words, but the main driver behind Banglish is the many people who code-switch because of their bilingualism. Banglish is essentially a dialect (or more aptly a sociolect) of its own, primarily used in the cities of Bangladesh.

French + English = Franglais

Franglais usually doesn’t refer to a code-switching, but instead to the English words that have been adopted by French speakers. Franglais often faces pushback because the French government is famous for its distaste toward loanwords. The French language even has an academy — L’Académie Française — which defines what counts as “official” words in the French dictionary. But it’s impossible to stop people from speaking how they want to, so English-looking words like le week-end (“the weekend”) and bruncher (“to brunch”) are common to hear. Franglais can also refer to French words that are used in English, often for the purpose of sounding fancy, like when people throw in mon petit cheri.

In Quebec, Canada, where French and English are both commonly spoken, the two languages tend to commingle. In this province, Franglais is a bit more like Spanglish, in that code-switching is pretty common. That doesn’t mean everyone likes it, however; the Quebec legislature has repeatedly tried to ban the use of the phrase bonjour-hi among sales clerks. Some people really don’t like language-mixing.

German + English = Denglish

German and English go way back — they’re both Germanic languages — but they’re pretty different today. That’s why they’re able to reform into Denglish, a combination of Deutsch (“German”) and English. The relationship between the two languages has been rocky, particularly during the World Wars of the early 20th century, but since the 1960s, the two have coexisted more frequently. English has a fair number of German words (blitz, schadenfreude, uber), and vice versa. Often, though, the English words in German will change slightly. The German word for “tuxedo” is der Smoking, referring to the old smoking jackets men used to wear, and the word for “cellphone” is das Handy, which is a shortening of “handheld phone” that English certainly never uses.

The word “Denglish” itself though tends to be used a bit derogatorily. If you’re a German using too many English words, you’ll be accused of speaking Denglish. Germans especially look down on Scheinanglizismen, or “pseudo-anglicisms,” which are those words like der Smoking and das Handy that are English words but not actually used in English.

Dutch + English = Dunglish

With perhaps the most unfortunate-sounding name, Dunglish is the term for the mixture of English and Dutch. If you don’t like that word, though, people have also called it Dinglish, Denglish (not to be confused with the German Denglish), Dutchlish and steenkolenengels (“coal-English”). That last one came about in reference to the English spoken by Dutch workers who helped the British in the coal trade.

Unlike most of the varieties of English here, calling something Dunglish means that it’s wrong, and many Dutch people consider it to be an incorrect form of English. It might be an incorrect translation or pronunciation, or it may be that someone tried to translate Dutch word-for-word into English, which would lead to some big grammatical errors. One example would be a sentence like “Need your baby some rest?” All of the words are in English, but the grammar is consistent with Dutch, making it sound a little off. The stigma around Dunglish has kept it from becoming anything more than a punchline, thus far.

Japanese + English = Japanglish

Japanglish generally refers to English terms that have been modified to become more Japanese. Examples of this include turning “french fries” into furaidopateto (like “fried potato”), “physical contact” into sukinshippu (like “skinship”) and “working” into sarariman (like “salaryman”). As these examples show, they usually are a little distorted from their original English terms, but are often close enough that you could figure them out with some thought. Some Japanese speakers might not even know that these words have any connection to English, because they’re fully integrated into Japanese.

Japanglish also has more derogatory uses, though, particularly in regard to pronunciation. Japanese has a very different set of sounds than English, which means going from one to the other can be difficult. Notably, Japanese doesn’t have the “L” sound, and will make an “R” sound instead. This is because of how the human brain works: people who aren’t exposed to an “L” as babies literally can’t hear the distinction between “L” and “R.” Because of this, saying someone speaks Japanglish might come across as an insult.
