Malaysia ah? Yes! We speak Manglish lah! focuses on Malaysia and Manglish, emphasising the nation’s diverse, multi-ethnic, and multicultural society. Malaysia’s main ethnic groups—Chinese, Malays, and Indians—speak languages such as Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. After British colonisation, English was the primary language, but post-independence, Malay became the official language, and English took a secondary role. English in Malaysia evolved into Manglish, an English-based creole influenced by the country’s major languages. Widely used in informal settings, Manglish is a dynamic language system that reflects Malaysia’s diversity and cultural heritage. It captures nuances that standard English cannot, showcasing the nation’s linguistic evolution.
