Hokaglish (; ; Tâi-lô: sann-lām-tsham-uē; ), formally known as Philippine Hybrid Hokkien, is a spoken language formed from contact primarily from Philippine Hokkien, Tagalog and Philippine English, with some influence from Philippine Spanish, Cantonese, and other local peripheral languages.
==Usage== Typically used amongst some Chinese Filipinos, who are also typically fluent in Taglish and some level of fluency of Philippine Hokkien, Hokaglish is used in various corporations, academic institutions, restaurants, and religious institutions especially in Metro Manila or wherever there are Chinese Filipinos across the Philippines. 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. Although used by Chinese Filipinos in general, this form of code-switching or code-mixing is popular especially among the younger generations of Chinese Filipinos, such as Generation X and millennials.
