Chinglish

[Tom Zurinskas]

The truespel database is not my dialect but m-w.com and other talking dictionaries.  
 
I'd like to heare a sound file showing how chin and ching vowels sound alike.  I believe I'm the only one in this forum who has ever offered a sound file about anything.  Sound files should be omnipresent in the forum.Tom Zurinskas, USA - CT20, TN3, NJ33, FL5+<br/>See truespel.com - and the 4 truespel books plus "Occasional Poems" at authorhouse.com. ----------------------------------------> Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:40:10 -0400> From: cats22@STNY.RR.COM> Subject: Re: Chinglish> To: ADS-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU> > ---------------------- Information from the mail header -----------------------> Sender: American Dialect Society <ADS-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU>> Poster: Doug_Harris <cats22@STNY.RR.COM>> Subject: Re: Chinglish> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------> > but _he_ (with the Z) prefers his own dialect.> dh> > No, it's "ching" as in "ching-lish."
