I am researching about a linguistic phenomenon called "Yinglish". If you have some information about it, please, send me. What I am exactly researching is: "what is, in fact, "yinglish"? In what place this occurs? Some examples of this occurrence, namely, films, poems, lyrics, or a video or another example that shows its occurrence.

This is going to be historical research, I presume. Yiddish-influenced English is primarily associated with older-generation Jewish New Yorkers and Miamians. The younger generations show little influence, I think.
