    AFAIK both are correct forms, but like the difference between Hindlish
and Hindilish, Manglish and Maggelish describes the amount of mixture.
Ferinstanz, Manglish - like Hindlish, is mostly English-L2 with some L1
influences while Maggelish - like Hindilish, is mainly L1 with some
English-L2 influences.

    I am certain there are other such terms for mixed languages, but I am
currently packing to move and all my linguistics materials are in boxes.
