Runglish

In space like the ISS, people spoke a mixture or Russian and English. This became the colloquial language of space. Technical documents were mostly in English, Russian and Chinese as well as other space languages. English was used for communicating with other vessels in official communication. Eventually Space Creole/Runglish overtook English as a language of communication in space but for official documents and writing English remained. Runglish became the language of most space colonies and was on a dialect continuum with English.
