I call it Scrantonese. It is spoken by people in Northeastern Pennsylvania in the Scranton / Wilkes Barre / Hazelton area.
It's mainly spoken by older folk, but many younger still use it today.
Hard to describe because I'm a local and it sounds natural to me even though I don't personally use it.
For an example, take a gander at this page: http://www.nepanewsletter.com/lingo
Not eveything will make sense to you, but almost all of it does to a local.

Most Filipinos in our country (Philippines) can speak English so sometimes we speak Taglish (Tagalog+English).
ex:
Manonood ka ba ng news tonight? Paki-kwento na lang the important ones kasi ma-traffic baka ma-late ako ng uwi.
Trans:
Will you watch the news tonight? Please tell me later about the important ones because traffic is bad I might come home late.
I don't know if this is a right answer to your question.

"Pidgin." Or, more accurately, Hawaii Standard Creole.
Although technically a language in its own right, it's a bastardized English that sounds incredibly uneducated.

Yes, Hick.
And in Wisconsin they spoke like the stereotypical Canadians, "It's a little code out there, ay?"
