>No. That is Korean with some English (or facsimiles of English) words included. We have the same in this area. It's called Spanglish.

But Spanglish is becoming the object of serious study. One of Solomon's professors at Amherst has published on the subject. I suspect Spanglish will soon be considered a real language like Yiddish.
