Manglish and Singlish
Malaysia and Singapore are two independent countries. Is there any reason why both are placed under the same heading 'Malaysia'?
[edit] Manglish and Singlish
How can this article claim to get its classifications from Ethnologue when Manglish and Singlish clearly are not listed in Ethnologue.
Also how is it that only Manglish and Singlish are listed down for South-east Asia when there are 'truer' English-based pidgins in the Philippines such as Konyo, Enggalog, Taglish, etc..?
Furthermore, Manglish and Singlish are both actually just English spoken in their respective Malaysian and Singaporean accents coupled with some 'lah' end-of-sentence particles and other emphasis markers. It is an exaggeration to claim that Manglish and Singlish are actual pidgins and if there's any pidginization at all, well it is very very low.Vlag (talk) 12:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Vlag
