English: Chinglish, Manglish and Indlish

English language is one of the most widely used language in the planet earth. English in general are categorized into 2 versions, American and British. But of course, over the years with those addition of localized languages such as Singaporean slang, our own Malaysian manglish or Indian heavy accented headshaking movement, English has evolved into a whole new language.

American english tends to be a little more "american" with words such as Yo! Wassup! , Black American english sounds more cool with a lot of hand movement, British english is a little more to the smooth and shakespeare style such as I'm Arriving! instead of I'm Cumming! and of course, in Asian, english are so different in each different region.

If you speak British accent English in Malaysia, you will looked as if you are from outer space and kinda given the foreigner look, if you like the attention. Sort of funny and perhaps it looks very pretentious?! But, perhaps you would get respect rather than cool impression!

If you speak cool american black english, then you will definitely be different altogether. Have you encounter with some ABCs or those who have studied in American for a while. They can rap and talk like a nigga! Cool american english. Well, i've heard that before in The Racks in Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong, where lotsa of young crowd that is from America thats it that talks that way, yo!

What i like the most about english is, the english that is spoken by different region means something totally different from one and another. Seriously! For example, i will use the word "know" to illustrate it to you.

you know, i know la! = its a secret between us.

i am very hardworking, you know! = implying that he wants you to know he is hardworking

i know, i know! = student pretends to know everything!

you know everything meh? = wife scolding the husband for not listening

know your head ah? = scolding you for being so ignorant and stupid at the same time

you know, XX is sleeping around with ZZ = typical gossip around teatime or in the office pantry

do you know that i am not joking? = serious tone warning that i am not joking



So funny you know!

Hahahaha!
