Runglish or Ruglish or Russlish is the variety of English spoken by native speakers of Russian in many countries (especially in Russia and the CIS). What makes it distinctive is its pronunciation, sometimes vocabulary, and grammar. The working language aboard the International Space Station has been described as Runglish.
Pronunciation
1. Runglish speakers make no distinction between long and short vowels: ea (heat) and i (hit), or (port) and o (pot), ar (heart) and u (hut), etc.
2. Runglish ? (bad) sounds as e (bed).
3. Final lenis consonants are pronounced as fortis ones, that is dog sounds as dock, hard as heart, etc.
The following joke vividly illustrates some of the grammatical issues presented above.
Two gentlemen have the following conversation in Trafalgar Square:
"Excuse me, which watch?"
"Near six watch."
"Such much?"
"For whom how..."
"MGIMO finished?"
"Ask!..."
