A content fork of List of English words of Chinese origin, with all of the content from this page originating from the other article. This duplicate article serves very little purpose given the existence of the earlier article. All content is copied exactly from the other article, word-for-word, with no valid CC-SA-3.0 attribution. -- benlisquare T•C•E 04:27, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as an unnecessary content fork of List of English words of Chinese origin. Sam Sailor Talk! 09:01, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Deleteas a content fork from List of English words of Chinese origin. By he way, most of these would be seen by English speakers as "Chinese words," not "English words." Edison (talk) 14:44, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge as 1) the contents are not identical, for example "yum-cha." 2) Merging means a redirect link instead of plain disappearance of the article. 3) Merging also means distinguishing Cantonese and other Chinese origins in the "List of English words of Chinese origin" article, similar to “zh:英语借词.”  Gordoncy (talk) 20:41, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I think this topic move to Wiktionary better. Because Cantonese is NOT the dialect for Chinese (Both them CANNOT communicate with each other.). Additionally, some words are NOT similiar to zh:英语借词, and a few word CANNOT be expressed by Mandarin. --WKDx417 (talk) 23:13, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

 * delete per nom. Re "yum-cha" that is not English, not used in English. Similarly "Gweilo". I don’t see anything else on there that is not in List of English words of Chinese origin. I do see a lot of improper copy and paste without attribution.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 21:27, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There's something called Hong Kong English. Timmyshin (talk) 18:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
