Pidgin-English Singsong: Or Songs And Stories In The China-English Dialect is a book written by Charles G. Leland in 1876. The book contains a collection of songs and stories in the pidgin English dialect spoken by Chinese immigrants in the United States during the 19th century. The dialect is a unique blend of English and Chinese languages and is characterized by its simplified grammar, limited vocabulary, and distinctive pronunciation. The book provides a fascinating insight into the cultural and linguistic exchange between China and the United States during this period. It is a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Chinese immigration to the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
