English and vietnamese chat language

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.

Changing letters into other letters or numbers is mainly based on homonymy.

Nowadays, the use of slang and abbreviations is not limited just to e-mails, text messages or instant messages. It is showing up in kids' schoolwork, in their SAT essays and in college admission applications.

Combining letters and numbers rely on homonymy and the similar shape.

Blending is a combination of different words that produces new words. The advantages of the writing style are the collective meaning and the shortness of using words. Chatters make the most of blending and use it widely in the Internet.

• 
  Chat language is principally used by teenagers.
  
• 
  Topics which chatters usually discuss are popular, repeated and social such as greetings, friends, family, love, work, study, etc.
  
• 
  Use emoticons to express emotion and thought. For example:
  

• 
  In Vietnamese: ###^^^ Mý ngày nay e hộx chẵng dc gì hít trơn á!... pài kiểm tra thỳ dưới trung bình hem hà!!! (;^_^;) nghỹ nại thý tức mình thiệt lun! :)… Kết wả nem hộx này e wóa iếu…  Mẹc dầu e đã cố gắng hít sức cũn chẵng có lợi ích gì…:-( ))))88(((

  Employ symbols on the keyboard effectively in order to send messages such as
