How do you spell English in Chinese?

There are a few ways to spell "English" in Chinese, depending on the context and the desired level of formality:

Simplified Chinese:

* 英语 (Yīngyǔ): This is the most common and widely used spelling for "English" in Simplified Chinese. It literally translates to "English language."

* 英格蘭 (Yīnggélán): This is a less common spelling that refers specifically to England, the country where the English language originated.

Traditional Chinese:

* 英語 (Yīngyǔ): The same spelling as in Simplified Chinese.

* 英格蘭 (Yīnggélán): The same spelling as in Simplified Chinese.

Pinyin:

* Yīngyǔ: This is the romanized pronunciation of "English" in Chinese.

The most appropriate spelling will depend on the specific context and your audience. For example, if you're writing about the English language, "英语" is the most appropriate choice. If you're referring specifically to England, "英格蘭" might be a better option.
