Malayan Pidgin

Malayan Pidgin, also known as Malaysian Pidgin or Manglish, is a colloquial form of communication that combines English with local Malay, Chinese, Tamil, and other languages spoken in Malaysia. It evolved as a simplified, informal way for diverse communities to understand each other, especially during colonial times and in urban environments. It features unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, often used in casual conversation, media, and popular culture. While it is not a formal language, Malayan Pidgin reflects Malaysia’s multicultural society and linguistic blending.
