The literature search shows that Konglish is a typical local variety, evolved from the borrowing and redefining of English words that became part of everyday South Korean speech. Konglish is not unique in this regard. Japlish in Japan and Chinglish in China developed for similar reasons and display the distinctive characteristics of those languages. However, Konglish is usually defined as poor and incorrect.

Every vernacular can, at the very least, add words borrowed from other languages. (Pride and Holmes, 1972, p.108) ABSTRACT The impact of Chinglish, Japlish, and Konglish on the vernaculars of Northeast Asia, and in turn the cultural mind-set of the populace, holds great sociolinguistic influence over these nations in the modern era. Not only have the languages of Northeast Asia developed subsets consisting of the use of English, and other European loanwords and pseudo loanwords, but students of EFL in these nations have, rightly or wrongly, come to incorporate this vocabulary into their English conversation. This paper discusses these loanwords, in which the EFL learner is immersed, and how they can be utilized effectively within the modern EFL classroom. The trend of ignoring such native language interference, like Chinglish, Japlish, and Konglish, will be reevaluated. A constructive method for utilizing such learner difficulties, will then be presented with the aim of assisting and promoting solid socio-cultural and linguistic competence in the English language.
