Hokaglish

Hokaglish, also known by locals as sa-lam-tsam oe (mixed language), is an oral contact language (or trilingual code-switching phenomenon) resulting from three languages seamlessly used together: (1) Hokkien, (2) Tagalog, and (3) English. Typically used by Filipino-Chinese or Chinese Filipinos, Hokaglish is used in quite a number of domains including corporations, academic institutions, restaurants, religious institutions, phone calls, and houses. Some note that this is a result of having to maintain command of all three languages in the spheres of home, school, and greater Philippine society.
