Another thread was discussing the future of English vs Chinese. This is to say that this is no problem!
The solution is SINGLISH from Singapore. I think that most Singaporeans speak it, to stronger or lesser degree. It is an English based language with plenty of Hokkien, Mandarin and Malay words thrown in + mix of English and Chinese grammar. (If anybody from Singapore is reading, please correct me if needed! ) Singapore gov't has tried to KILL SINGLISH for decades. They have NOT SUCCEEDED because this language is practically inconquerable (Singaporeans love to hate to love it...) Could this be a serious language of the future? Here are some Singlish videos I found! Problem already solve laah! Singlish in the Office How (not) to order party grub in Singlish No Sell Pokk! Day in the life of a Singlishman.... I spoke my first (volountary) English there, so I love Singlish because you don't have to feel stupid about poor accent or grammar when speaking English - just go for it and shout louder if people don't understand. I like Singapore a lot! Edited by cordelia0507 on 17 June 2009 at 2:41pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |
