No, Lithuanian Chinglish.

FWIW - the cold call real estate deal Mumbai call centre people are 
managing far better English of late. What wrecks it is that, although 
they INSIST that they are calling from Auckland, they seem to 
invariably use a circuit with 2 satellite hops, 2 kHz bandwidth, 6 bit 
PCM and a random noise generator running. Presumably this is actually 
the result of super high compression technology over lowest cost 
circuits. Quite why they do this I don't know, given the cost of 
international volume calls these days. They seem unphased when I point 
out to them that I get very very very few local calls with 2 satellite 
hops therein.
