Spanglish? Hmonglish?

When we were talking in class about Spanglish, I totally could relate because I speak Hmong, and I use Hmonglish. Hmong is the language of Hmong people which is a tribe from southeastern Asia. I used to be able to speak Hmong really fluently as a child, but when I moved to Texas I stopped speaking it as much because there weren't that many Hmong people in Texas. In California I spoke with my grandparents everyday so I could keep up with it. My parents speak Hmong and English fluently so I didn't have to always speak Hmong at home. When I started trying to speak Hmong more frequently again, it was really hard because I used so many "Hmonglish" words. Speaking pure Hmong is really difficult for me even now. We utilize words like "care" and "need" in place of the corresponding Hmong words. When I talk with my grandparents now, they tease me for not knowing how to speak fluently. They say that I'm too Americanized and white-washed. Right now I can speak Hmong fairly well, but I'm not as fluent as I used to be.
