To confirm or consider

  • (Malaysia, colloquial), (Malaysia, informal) should be simply shortened to (Manglish) [I used to do the opposite; this should also apply to Singlish]

unconfirmed Sitiawan Gutian words (take with a grain of salt)

(Sorry for no IPA)

  • ko̤ yu (ko̤ is most likely 考, "yu" sounds like Standard Chinese 魚?): exam
  • lo̤ = perfective particle?
  • kam sia (感謝): thank you
  • mei you/yiu (hanzi might be 𣍐曉): don't know (Standard Chinese: 不會)

  • "kring ngiang"/"ki ring ngiang" - Indian person. Borrowed from Malay Keling? If so, it is likely borrowed via 吉靈, but I don't think 吉靈 is the correct hanzi. Might be derogatory.
  • lo ti - bread. from Malay roti.
  • "amoy yan" (in a comment)/"阿Moi洋" (video thumbnail): 阿妹 + 囝?
Very nice places (maybe)

Note to self:
Acronym = Pronounced like ordinary words (NATO; UNICEF; ASEAN etc.)
Initialism = Pronounced letter by letter (US; UK; UN etc.)
Colloquial is stronger than informal (a general rule of thumb is that informal words may be used in the running text of a newspaper article, while a colloquial term would likely not appear without quotation marks).

This page is a kludge.
