When we Malaysian's want you to repeat what you have just said, we don't need long sentences like, "Excuse me?" or "I beg your pardon?" We just say, "HAR?"

i'm always proud of our manglish, when i was in japan, i had many followers of manglish from australia, new zealand and other ocean pacific islanders.. their favourite words were, "i wan one", "do wan! do wan!", "never mind lah", "no lah", "you kenot do like that..", "ofkos you kennn..", "wat hepe? wat hepe? (what happened?) etc.. see? that's how powerful manglish are!

Malaysian people speak with different accent when using foreign languages, for example like English, Mandarin, Spanish etc... is nothing unusual, because it is not their native tongue, they don't use them on daily basis.

Hi Brian, just want to point that most of what you had mentioned aren't accents, rather this is the English pidgin/creole in Malaysia. Accents refer more to the way words are pronounced, for e.g. Malaysians almost always pronounce 'V' as 'W'. So they really have problems trying to pronounce the word "Valve" properly, sounding more like "Wo-w".

"Another word that we always pronounce wrongly is..." ew no, screw that mindset. Saying a word differently to how some other country (the US? the UK? I don't know what you're comparing it to) doesn't mean it's wrong.

***** every accent impedes meaning to speakers who aren't familiar with that accent though. A standard Scottish accent can be hard to understand from a Canadian's perspective. A standard South African accent can be hard to understand from a Malaysian perspective even if English is their only language. Even non-standard accents used within a particular community aren't "wrong" if the members of that community understand each other without difficulty. I'm not saying learning a more standard form of a language is bad, just the belief that accents like that are "wrong" or bad in any way.

***** But with that said, I'm totally biased because I like Malaysian accents, and also I'm speaking as a non-Malaysian so honestly a Malaysian person's opinion on the matter should count for a bit more than mine.

When I stayed in Malaysia for a year for university, I couldn't understand my classmates accents, it was like they were speaking in another language! They always said cannot cannot.. One time my I asked my classmate something and she said cannot laa.. I was like " Pardon? Cannot?? What do you mean?" I have noticed you don't say I can't or I can not, you shorten your words to the point that it becomes a completly different language lol. It was my first time out of England and my first time hearing English spoken like that, It got to the point that my classmates had to speak clearly and pronounce words for me to understand lol

Do Malaysians speak Malay or English to each other. And do all the school age and teens in Malaysia speak Malaysian or only manglish or Mandarin.
@SooHonY
@SooHonY 9 жыл бұрын
It really depends on the area/school they are in. But most Malaysians speak and understand Malay as it is a compulsory subject in school. And depending on the school and area influences, languages such as English, Indian, Chinese are injected into the spoken language. Which often leads to Manglish. In some states, they have their own slang, which is very different from Manglish.

+TheDylanHansen Malaysians are multi-lingual by speaking at least Malay and English. Although Standardized Malay is the national language, English is a still recognised as the primary language for most areas of the economy. Some parts of the government particularly the legal system is mostly in English. Due to the vernacular education system, parents can opt to send their kids to government standardized or privately funded Chinese or Indian schools. There, the teachers and students will converse in their respective languages. In national schools, Malay is the medium of teaching for most subjects. English is a compulsory subject in all schools, it used to be the medium of teaching for most subjects before the 1970s. So teachers and students usually converse in Malay or English in a national school. English is particularly emphasized in "states" or "countries of equal partnership" richer in British colonial influence such as Penang and Sarawak. Most Chinese Malaysians communicate with each other through Mandarin or the common Chinese provincial dialect like Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien or Foochow depending on the city they live in. E.g Cantonese is predominant in Kuala Lumpur, Hakka is predominant in Kota Kinabalu or Tawau, and Hokkien being the main dialect in places like Penang, Melaka, Kuching or Johor. But there are some who opt to speak English entirely. Likewise, Indian Malaysians can usually speak and write one of the Indian languages e.g Tamil, Hindi, Malayali, Punjabi etc etc as according to their origins. A lot of them decide to speak English entirely. On the other hand, the Malay Malaysians usually converse in either Standardized Malay or the local dialects. E.g Malays from the state of Kelantan will speak their own dialect colloquially known as "Kelate", while those from Sarawak will speak Bahasa Sarawak. As a result, non-Malays of the respective states will be able to speak the particular Malay dialect on top of the Standardized Malay. There are also those who opt to speak English entirely at home, but they usually come from the affluent parts of Kuala Lumpur. The indigenous and native people speaks their own respective language like Iban, Aslian, Kadazan-Dusun, Baba Malay, and etc etc. They don't usually speak English among each other. As for inter-racial communication, English or Malay will be used depending on the situation. A non-Malay will usually speak Malay to a fellow Malay. While between Chinese and Indians, English is usually spoken. However as per above, English is still recognised as the lingua france in the business world.

My biggest pet peeve is when Malays say they are sending me to the store or sending someone to the airport. The word is only send if someone else drives you. If it is you, you are taking, carrying or driving someone. You can send someone in a taxi, but if you are driving then you are taking, not sending. You send a letter through the post. If you hand deliver the letter yourself, you are taking the letter.

As a Malaysian, maybe I should practice this. Having lived in America for 11 years, my accent is not Malaysian but America with a slight Malaysian.

"I want that want." or "This want" don't really make sense too. Perhaps the 'one' and 'want' are overly used? "I want that" instead of "I want that one/want." "This" instead of "This one/want."

Malysians are not the only ones who pronounced "three" as "tree". Try the country closest to the Pacific Ocean which boasts of 7k islands.

Malaysian accent and culture is similar to West Indian accents (Trinidad, Barbados). I love it. It's sexy

Well, in parentheses, I put "Trinidad" and "Barbados" to indicate that those were the West Indian accents that the Malaysian accents remind me of....more of the southern West Indian, anglophone accent. When most people think of West Indian (if they even know what it is), they think Jamaican. I actually specifically wrote "Trinidad" and "Barbados" so that your mind wouldn't directly go to "Jamaican", but that was clearly lost on you. lol But yes, I think it does have many similarities.

That was Chinese Malaysian English accent. If your eyes close you can tell it was a Chinese spoke English because it was your tonnes we recognise. It should parted the Malaysian English accent you can hear how Malay English accent looks like. There are Malaysia Indian English accent whereas the Tamil English accent quite different than the North Indian English accent how the tamil people's spoke quite quickly than the musical tonnes of the North Indian . Then we had the Malaysian Portuguese origin who also had their own English accent. Even the among the Malay there was a Malay Kelantanese English accent which are sound funny. You also could hear the Sabahan English accent sound as the filipinos. Most common on Malaysian English accent which also known as Manglish are the word Lah which connected with most English words.These are variety of Malaysian English accent.

Many people fail to notice that the title is "Malaysian accent" not "Malay accent or melayu accent". So, I think he is describing one of malaysian accent. In addition, he got said that there are "more other accents" in malaysia. So yeah, only those who do not like chinese will upvote +harsha RAO comment.
