About Mangled Manglish

"What you talking ar? Louder can or not? Cannot hear you la!"

If you are a Malaysian reading this, the above sentence will probably sound perfectly normal to you. It might even sound exactly like the way you speak. 

However, what sound like normal English to us often leaves foreigners thinking that we're speaking an alien language that weirdly 'sound' like English.

The 'English' that most Malaysians speak is actually called 'Manglish'. 

Mangled + English = Manglish 

At this blog, we pick at this weird sounding English, and try to untangle the meanings. We'll also talk about Malaysian English in general, helping you to learn more about English in Malaysia as well as improve your personal English proficiency.
