Taglish
Taglish, or Englog, is code-switching between English and Tagalog, the common languages of the Philippines, that developed in Manila. There are attempts to differentiate the usage of the words "Taglish" and "Englog", where Taglish refers to the usage of English words in Tagalog syntax and Englog refers to the usage of Tagalog words in English syntax.
Taglish and Englog are used by Filipinos in countries like Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It is used in text messages to write more quickly.
It also has several variants, including Coño English, Jejenese and Swardspeak.
Characteristics
Taglish (or Englog) is a language of Manila created by mixing the English and the Tagalog languages together. The language is used because Tagalog words are longer than words in English. Example:
English action words, and even some naming words, can be Tagalog action words. This is done by the addition of one or more prefixes or infixes and by the doubling of the first sound of the starting form of the action or naming word.

Ticklish
by: At The Drive Inpigeon holed decision making
all my mind's made up
i only colored outside the lines
'cause i got the knack
stenciled teen initials
that were carved on the roof of my mouth
only to bark the words of so-and-so
fuck so-and-so...
i been dancing in the bathroom stalls
excreting words just for this song
i'm kicking in windows
and it don't make music to me
"please get some medication
simple. it's simple...
we must die with dignity."
pallbearer we are and all that
we never get and all my little pushes
fall on your
deaf
ears
kicking in these windows
kicking in these windows
it's on the roof of my mouth
i'm gonna bark the words
on the roof of my mouth
tickling with contusions
paper bag masks hiding infantile music
no pictures, just words
are you afraid of our books?
