Language used in Singapore
The official language in Singapore is English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil (Indians speaking language). Most Singaporeans are bilingual, meaning they are only able to speak two of such languages, namely English and Mother Tongue (one of the rest of the official language). Therefore, with the different racial living together, English forms the primary language for communication.
It is important to note that tourist doesn’t need to have a high mastery of English language to communicate with the locals. Singlish, also known as Singapore English, is commonly used in Singapore which has a distinct characteristic, such as:
- No grammar rules
- Fragmentation of English language
- Additional of prefix/suffix like ‘la’, ‘lor’ etc. to express
- Mixture of multiple language
Therefore, if you are lost in Singapore, you can simply ask the local for directions such as “xxx where?” and the local will guide you through to your destination!
