Information:

Malaysian English, also known as Malaysian Standard English (MySE), is a form of English derived from British English, although this name is rarely used formally unless it is related to education. Malaysian English is also widely used. It is a spoken language, strongly influenced by Malay, Chinese dialect and Tamil.

The government discourages the misuse of Malay and fines public signs that mix Malay and English.

Chinese have moved to Malaysia for hundreds of years, and their ancestral homes are mostly distributed in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. In various dialects, they also came to the south with their ancestors and continued to spread in Malaysia.

Dialects that people still use are arranged from north to south according to their ancestral homes, including Minqing dialect, Xinghua dialect, Minnan dialect, Hakka dialect, Chaozhou dialect, Cantonese, Hainan dialect and Guangxi Cantonese. In rural areas, the same dialect group is concentrated, and a single dialect will appear. In urban areas, although there are one or two strong dialects, most people are familiar with them and can change their answers quickly.

In order to standardize the use of Chinese in Malaysia, China Language Standardization Committee was established on February 6th, 2004.
