Singlish

Singaporean-accented English.
Basically, English used by a tiny Asian nation nobody knows until it sounds so Asian you don't understand it; even though the people there are much much smarter than you.

Derived from British, Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Indian, and Arabic words amongst others.

Similar to Manglish in Malaysia.

- "lah" the most famous and common example. Randomly added before commas and periods for no apparent reason.

"yah lah/no lah!"
"you wan go die lah?"

"wai you say 6÷2(1+2) = 1 mah?? you so stupid leh"

- "lor" - from Cantonese, used to emphasize a point
"you not study, then you go die lor!!!"
" how come I ask you call me wai you not call me leh?!"

- "meh" used like a question mark
"really meh? you got fired from job?"

- "sia/siao" - used in expressing disapproval, siao = more crude, 'crazy'
"dat lady look at me so crazy sia"
"waah! you get new toyota sia!"
"siao lah! you go and die you kena sai!"

-----
- "izzit" from 'is it', but slurred

"yah, I fix by tomorrow, can, can!"
