How do English spell in Chinese?

There are two main ways to write "English" in Chinese:

1. 英语 (Yīngyǔ) This is the most common and direct translation, literally meaning "English language". It is based on the pronunciation of "English" in Mandarin Chinese.

2. 英文 (Yīngwén) This is a more literal translation meaning "English writing". It is less common than 英语 but still used.

Both versions are understood by Chinese speakers.

Here are some other variations you might see:

* 英式英语 (Yīngshì Yīngyǔ): British English

* 美式英语 (Měishì Yīngyǔ): American English

* 英文名 (Yīngwénmíng): English name

It's important to note that these are just the standard transliterations of the word "English" into Chinese. There are many other ways to write it, depending on the context and the specific dialect of Chinese being used.
