8. Use of pidgin
Pidgin is a way of speaking a language that employs simple words and forms, used when people do not speak a foreign language well. Pidgin begins to appear when English becomes popular in Vietnam. However, when chatters use pidgin, foreigners will not understand it because both sentence structure and grammar are incorrect. For instance: No table - miễn bàn; Like is afternoon - thích thì chiều; No four go - vô tư đi; Sugar you you go - đường anh anh đi; Find children peanut - tìm trẻ lạc…

B. English chat language
I. The origin of forming English language chat
Besides the reasons of forming Vietnamese language chat, English language chat is created due to a tendency to absorb new things which continuously take place in the youth’s life. This makes parents embarrassed and worried when sometimes glancing at their children’s computer screen or cellphone messages. Thus, inventing cryptography is one of the the reasons of forming language chat.
II. The basic variants in English language chat
