Communication is one of the main aspects in our everyday activity. Actually, most of the activities we do are straight or indirectly related to communication. More than 300 million people in the world speak English and the rest sometimes seem to or want to. At the same time, English is spoken in a variety of types in dependence to the united states, as what it is well known throughout as the entire world Englishes. The British introduced British to Malaysia more than two decades in the past. It became the most important language for decades and it is often associated with electric power and prestige. However, in post-British era, when Malaysia became impartial in 1957, British was made the next language in conjunction with the campaign of Bahasa Malaysia as the nationwide terminology. Then, in the 1990s, spurred by the government's goal to push the nation into globalization, the value of English increased. Today, Malaysians speak Standard British and Malaysian British. But here what is actually supposed by Standard British and Malaysian English and how exactly it differs? What actually matters the Standard British will rely upon both the area and this types that Standard British has been contrasted with. All together, Standard British is also known as Standard Written English or SWE, is the proper execution of British most broadly accepted to be clear and proper. It really is regarded as the most appropriate and most frequently used form of English around the world and is known as the model of conversation and writing of educated audio system. While on the other side, Manglish is a Malaysian speaking style, similar to the Singaporean British, Singlish. That is a distorted use of English that is mainly spoken between the locals and sometimes is also referred to as a rojak terminology. So, how is Standard British differs from Malaysian British?
In Malaysia, we respect Malaysian English as bahasa rojak. (Johnleemk, 8 Mac 2007). Rojak is a malay phrase, loosely translated actually means 'a combination of'. Same goes to in Malaysian framework. We consider our English as rojak British. Malaysians, are very lucky to possess various races speaking a number of languages and still staying mutually peacefully under one region. The variety known as Malaysian English has, among various factors, the local languages as one of the ingredients that colour this variety. These local dialects mentioned being in essence Malay, Chinese and Tamil. Such indigenized kinds are most often used in an informal communicative variety. This means using the British language with a mixture of the Malay words, Chinese language dialects and Tamil. For instance, in an casual communication, people generally used the word 'lah', 'aaah' and 'aiyoo'. 'Lah' is utilized to emphasise, 'Aaah' is usually accompanied by a question draw and 'Aiyoo' is often accompanied by the exclaimation make. For example, 'Aiyoo, why you so past due one huh?' and 'faster lah. This kind of Manglish spoken sentences are only realized by Malaysians rather than tourists. Just lately, I read articles where, an British spoken visitor who arrived to Malaysia commented on the Malaysian British. "It appears to be curiously like British, but I could'nt understand what had been said. " How is the tourist going to comprehend if the British is spoken in this manner, "My car, 4 a few months never pay. The funding people will move already. Myself, where got money. Aiyoo. . . ! Die lah like this". This actually means I've not paid up my car installments in 4 months. The finance company is going to reposess it soon. I don't possess the amount of money. Argh! I'm done for. The main point on how Malaysian British differs from Standard English is what spoken which are being used in the speaking of English terms. In Standard British we use words which may be known by everyone whereby in Malaysian British, we combine all the words into English whereby only Malaysians can understand the whole so this means of the word.
Besides that, Standard English differs from Malaysian British in conditions of pronunciations of words. As I have explained in the above context, Malaysia is a well diverse country with the Malaysians speaking many different dialects. So, British is another language in this country. If set alongside the British, the one main language spoken there may be British. Here, in Malaysia, the English spoken here is mixed with a number of dialects spoken by the different ethnics in Malaysia. Thus, a very important factor we have to bear in mind here that the majority of the pronunciations miscalculation pertains to mother tongue disturbance. For example, this part is extracted from the Start Online, "There are several items in Hussaini's article that I can comment on, but I'll just choose two examples he offered as wrong pronunciation of English words, "head" and "said", which he claimed were mispronounced as "had" and "sad". The Longman Dictionary of Modern day British and other mainstream dictionaries give the pronunciation of the words as /hed/ and /sed/, using the International Phonetic Alphabet system and therefore they would actually sound almost like "had" and "sad" but with shorter vowel noises. Perhaps Hussaini thought "head" should appear to be /he±t/ and "said' like /se±d/, which can be actually Malaysian English pronunciation of what". Some other words Malaysian pronounce differently are their (Malaysians read it as thee-ya but that it is is there), Wednesday ( Malaysians pronounce it as wed-nes-day but that it is wenz-day), question ( Malaysians read as ques-tion but it's actually ques-chen), procedure ( Malaysians pronounce it as prou-si-dear but it is pre-si-jer) and a great many other words. At the same time, In Malaysian English, the previous syllable of any word may also be not pronounced with the strength that it would be in British British. So, here we can see Malaysian English differs in conditions of pronunciation of words, whereby it is mostly affected by the interference of the several dialects in Malaysia.
Standard British also differs from Malaysian English in terms of grammar. There are several Manglish grammatical set ups taken from Chinese dialects and many claim that the framework is also borrowed from the malay vocabulary. For example, the phrase "Why you so like this one?" in standard British it means "What makes you behaving in that way". In Cantonese, an identical key phrase would be rendered as "Dimgaai neih gam ge?" or actually "Why you like that?" The "one" in the sample phrase does not literally indicate the numeral one; instead it is utilized more as a suffix device. Additionally it is sometimes rendered as "wan. "One other attribute is anastrophe and omission of certain prepositions and articles. For example "I haven't seen you in quite a while" in standard English becomes "Very long time no see" in Malaysian English. Not only are those, even to the certain degree the words used in Standard British and Malaysian British also different. With all of the influences Malaysian British is gradually building its vocabulary. Typically, these words are based on other British words but the majority of the time the Malaysian presenter is unaware these words aren't what from the typical use of British or even from English or American English. For example, one of the most used words in Malaysia is hand telephone but it is actually a cellular phone or a cell phone. Malaysian use brinjal, however the right use of this veggie is eggplant or Aubergine, the typical term for MC is in fact sick word and gostan which can be used in Malaysia is actually reverse or to go backwards in Standard British. Moreover, a few of the same words found in Standard British and Malaysian British have different so this means. For example, bungalow. In Standard British it means a small house or cottage usually having a single storey and sometimes an additional attic history that is free status, i. e. not conjoined with another device. But in Malaysian English it means a mansion for the rich and/or famous; or a fully detached house, regardless of the number of surfaces it offers. (complete astronomy).
Currently, many different English varieties, which can be called World Englishes, are spoken all around the globe. Malaysian British, one of the World Englishes, comes with an important role as an inter-ethnic lingua franca in the Malaysian community. Since vocabulary is carefully related to identity, even if the Malaysian government keeps on the language insurance plan which ignores the partnership between terminology and individuality, the coverage will have little influence on Malaysian terms use and behaviour. At the same time, I assume that it is not incorrect using Malaysian English, we have to always lessen the usage and avoid speaking Malaysian British in formal situation. On the other hand, standard English should be uphold and given the best priority as English is becoming the best medium of communication all over about the world. Thus, the difference between Malaysian British and Standard English can be lessened when there is a commitment out of every individual to increase the standard of English in Malaysia.
