fringlish

Also known as "franglais" (frong-legh).

A term to describe a Bilingual Canadian who uses both English and French in the same sentence, usually due to poor knowledge of the second language, so they have to resort to their first-learned language to "fill in the holes". Americans use this as well, but for Spanish and English ("Spanglish").

Classic use of Fringlish:

"Sorry... nous speak anglais very pas bien!"
