I can switch and assimilate into any accent that currently surrounds me. It's kinda weird.
But really I was in Oxford for three weeks and by the second week no one could tell I didn't usually talk with a British accent.
I am also a pro at HongKongnese, Singlish, and Chinglish.
Oh man Singlish is a league of its own.
isn't singlish and chinglish the same
i thought sino = chinese so isn't that redundant??
no that's stupid
Singlish is from Singapore. It is a mashup of Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Hokkien (Fujian), Malay, and Tamil. It draws slang from all of the above dialects/languages and its accent is very distinctive. It is also grammatically incorrect 100% of the time.
Chinglish is from China and is really just how most Chinese people speak English; it's an accent and some common grammatical errors.

All I know about Singaporean is that they append "la" and "lar" to their phrases a lot
