Denglisch or Denglish is a portmanteau of the German words Deutsch and Englisch. The term is used in all German-speaking countries to refer to the increasingly strong influx of English or pseudo-English vocabulary into German. Many synonyms exist, including Germlish, Gerglish, Germish, Angleutsch, and Engleutsch. Both these and Denglish are also used to refer to incorrect English that is influenced by German. To some extent, the influence of English on German can be described in terms of normal language contact. The term Denglisch is however mostly reserved for forced, excessive exercises in anglicization, or pseudo-anglicization, of the German language. The forced introduction of anglicisms in especially in marketing and business terminology experienced a peak during the 1990s and early 2000s, but the ubiquity of practice has since made it much less fashionable or prestigious and since the later 2000s many publicistic commentators have argued against it. Zeit Online in a 2007 article, while granting the possibility of excessive linguistic purism among those arguing against anglicizing influence on German, criticizes ubiquitous use of English, and as an extreme case cites the pseudo-anglicistic Brain up! chosen by then-minister for education Edelgard Bulmahn as a campaign slogan in 2004. The same slogan had already been satirized by Frankfurter Allgemeine in 2004.
