Canlisharinese is a mixture of 4 different languages: English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese. The "Can-" is derived from Cantonese; the "-lish" is derived from English; the "-arin" is derived from Mandarin; and the "-ese" is derived from Japanese. However, using this language always cancels another language out, as English is an Subject-Verb-Object language, whereas Japanese is a Subject-Object-Verb language. It is considered to be a joke language, as not many people speak all 4 of these languages, and the majority who do speak the 4 languages do not collide the 4 languages together. Please note: Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese use the same characters, just different pronunciations.
