Editing Anglicism (section)

===Chinese===
These are English terms, expressions, or concepts that have been absorbed into the Chinese language, including any of [[Varieties of Chinese|its varieties]], and should not be confused with [[Chinglish]], the variety of the English language used by native Chinese speakers.

The origins of Chinese anglicisms vary, one of the most common being those obtained by [[phonetic]] borrowing. For example, a "[[wikt:bus|bus]]" ({{zh|first=t|t=公共汽車|s=公共汽车|l=public vehicle}}, in [[Mainland China]] or [[Taiwan]]) is usually called {{zh|labels=no|c="巴士"|j=(baa<sup>1</sup> si<sup>6-2</sup>)}} in Hong Kong and [[Macao]] because its [[Cantonese]] pronunciation is similar to its English counterpart. Another type of anglicism is syntactic anglicism, when a sentence is rendered following the English [[word order]] instead of the [[standard Chinese]] word order; for example, the word for "[[wikt:network|network]]" is {{zh|s=网络|t=(網絡)|labels=no}} or {{zh|s=网路|t=(網路)|labels=no}}, where {{zh|s=网|t=網|labels=no}} can be translated as "net".
