Language in Contact: Food for Thought

Hi All,


This is just for your entertainment, no need to respond. This is a picture of a sign on the Great Wall of China that a friend just sent to me. Notice the hybrid language that comes from the contact between Chinese and English.
Then, think about the possible future of China being the economic powerhouse of the world and how language might be changing.
Hmm, food for thought?

i liked this becuase when i was in china, almost everything was written a little off from standard english, even though you can still understand it. But that is how they speak english, so why wouldn't they write that way?
