ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we focus on locally-made English words in East Asia. These countries are both home to a huge amount of locally-made English words, which are able to be used more naturally and easily than other varieties of English, such as imported words. Despite the amount and convenience of these words, there is still a degree of prejudice towards them from linguistic authorities. These words are made through a variety of methods, and eventually become a unique and inseparable part of the host language.
