What is cono English?

Cono English refers to a specific style of English spoken in the Philippines, often characterized by a blend of Filipino and English vocabulary, as well as unique slang and expressions. It is commonly associated with the urban, upper-middle-class youth, particularly in Metro Manila. The term "cono" itself is derived from "continental," implying a more Westernized or modern way of speaking. This form of English can serve as a cultural marker, distinguishing social groups and influences in Philippine society.
