 === Origin ===
-As '''Denglisch''' is noted as far back as the 16th and 17th centuries, in the last few years after World War II, German increasingly borrowed from English. At the same time that English became the dominant world language of science, technology and business, German adopted more English vocabulary than any other European language. They also created their own words for English terms to minimise the use of the characteristic transfer of English to a non-English language, which were then called ''Anglicisms'', to come across as more cospolitan and modern, as well as to distance themselves from the stigma of nationalism that was a result of World War II.

-Not only does Denglisch include words borrowed from English, but there is also a series of unique pseudo-anglicisms or words that sound like English, but actually are not. That is why Denglisch is often associated and even considered the same as Anglicisms.

-Denglisch is also often referred to as language mixing, which is actually not a new concept. However, it could be argued that Denglisch is one of the newest mixed languages in Europe; while loan words and literal translations from English to German can be traced back to the 18th century. As the loan words were uncommon and restricted to certain areas in the late Middle Ages, many of these loan words have now become fully assimilated and barely recognisable as loans to the German speaker in general. This indicates that the phenomenon of Denglisch is not new. What is new is the term used to describe the use of English words in German.

-=== Criticism ===
+=== Discussion ===
 '''Denglisch''' is not just a linguistic quirk. It reflects the ability of languages to adjust as they meet the ever evolving needs of a globalised society. In business and technology where English terminology is prevalent, Denglisch stands as a bridge between languages; enabling effective communication in international contexts. Although people may spell Denglisch words differently based on their preferences, the knowledge or familiarity of the conversation partner as well as with Denglisch allows for easy communication. The term also represents the fluidity of language, demonstrating how speakers creatively incorporate foreign elements into their language repertoire.

 The term also has several names, i.e Denglish, Germlish, Genglish and Angleutsch.

 === Example ===
 '''Denglisch''' could appear and be used at any time in various sectors, such as daily conversation, advertising, technology, business and media. Some commonly found Denglisch words are:
-# '''Handy''' - means "cellphone" in German, but to an English speaker it is a synonym for "practical".
