Singlish, a portmanteau of "Singapore" and "English", is the English-based creole spoken colloquially in Singapore. Although English is the lexifier language, Singlish may be difficult to understand for speakers of standard varieties, such as British, American or Australian English. The main difficulties in understanding are Singlish's unique slang and syntax, which are more pronounced in informal speech.

Overview

Singlish originated with the arrival of the British and the establishment of English language schools in Singapore.

Soon, English filtered out of schools and onto the streets, to be picked up by non-English-speakers in a pidgin-like form for communication purposes. After some time, this new form of English, now loaded with substantial influences from Indian English, Baba Malay, and the southern varieties of Chinese, became the language of the streets and began to be learned "natively" in its own right. Creolization occurred, and Singlish then became a fully-formed, stabilized, and independent English creole.

Singlish shares substantial linguistic similarities with Malaysian English (Manglish) in Malaysia, although distinctions can be made, particularly in vocabulary. WakefieldSoft, LLC - Palm OS, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, and Windows.
