Interesting.  That's more anglified than the
French equivalent, which is "franglais".

Dunno whether that's indicative of where the
needle is on the lang-mix dial. ;-)

(And then there are Bringlish and Brenglish.)

Maybe.  The real German word is "Denglisch", not "Denglish" (I tried to
translate it...)

So comparing Denglisch with
             De ut sch

"Denglisch" actually still shares 5/9 > 50% of characters with the word
"Deutsch".  But OTOH it sounds just as "Englisch" with a "D" added to
the front.  So your analysis is correct I think.

Back to topic (Emacs ;-)

  (string-distance "Denglisch" "Deutsch")
  => 4
  (string-distance "Denglisch" "English")
  => 3
