Barsket! Your grandfather's road-ah!
You are bombarded with these lively expressions every day. Charming, funny, occasionally embarrassing, but always colourful. Manglish, or Malaysian English, is what Malaysians speak when they want to connect with each other. Or when they just want to hang loose and forget about tenses, grammar and pronunciation. Like tasting a delicious glass of teh tarik or a lip-smacking mouthful of durian, speaking Manglish is uniquely Malaysian.
Manglish: Malaysian English at its Wackiest! is an entertaining, fun-filled compilation of some of the most commonly-used words and expressions in Malaysian English. Whether you are a true blue Malaysian or a fresh-off-the-plane Mat Salleh visiting Malaysia for the first time, with Manglish, you'll never be at a loss for words when conversing with Malaysians!
