Fun fact: Singlish is syllable-timed, which means each syllable of every word is given the same amount of stress when you speak. This is why it tends to sound monotonous and seems to lack the lilt of other varieties of English. Varieties of English like RP and American English, on the other hand, are stress-timed, which makes them sound more prosodic.

I realise that Singaporeans who were raised in English-speaking households do pronounce "th" most the time, and this applies to all races. However, I think that for Chinese Singaporeans, those who speak English at home sound a little different from their counterparts who speak Chinese at home. My Chinese-at-home Chinese Singaporean friends do sound slightly different from my English-at-home Chinese Singaporean friends in terms of the way they pronounce "a", "i", and "th" as well as end consonants like "t" and "d" at the ends of words. My "Bridging English" module teacher in my foundation year of polytechnic was also able to tell from my accent during my oral presentations that I speak English at home. However, there are still exceptions. My father spoke Teochew at home with his parents throughout his childhood, but he speaks English like a full-time Anglophone Singaporean.

Hi Georgia! I’ve been in Singapore for 4 months now, originally from the UK but with an English Dad and Welsh Mom. I have always thought that the Singaporean accent sounds a little welsh, and this has just backed that up for me, so many welsh like phrases!

@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587 2 жыл бұрын

that's interesting because I'm half Nigerian and this also has a few similar sounds with a "Nigerian" accent (not exactly the same but pronouncing the t's as d's and the tone/syllable stress. like "you bettuh listun to me" in Singlish is the same tone as how my Nigerian Dad speaks but the end of bettuh is an 'ah' sound and listun is listin and "don't" ("don' do dat" - my Dad says this often lol), "father" and "mother" are pronounced similarly: "faddah, modah" but the ah isn't as stressed as stereotypical imitations have it ) so it isn't too hard for me to imitate it, whether that imitation is good or not... aaahaha - 💀 obviously I will still sound off to anyone who actually grew up with the Singlish accent

Some of those old pre war houses with wooden windows and ceramic tiles that you liked so much are peranakan homes. You really should do a vlog on peranakan culture in Singapore from a Foreigner's perspective. Their home designs and styling, their food, their clothing, their jewelry, and their superstitions and beliefs.

@@GeorgiaCaney google peranakan. They are a mixed race between Chinese settlers from China and locals (predominantly Malay). They have a mixed culture of Chinese and Malay. They look Chinese but in their earlier ancestry, they don't speak Chinese. They are also a dying culture due to intermarrying back into the mainstream Chinese culture.

I can even introduce you to some 3rd generation peranakan and you can interview them. A couple of things you can focus on...clothing, food, jewellery, furniture, their rituals, and your favorite... The traditional peranakan home. The peranakan family is run by the matriarch. Mom is in charge.

Singapore accent is veryyy specific. Its a mesh between hokkien~chinese and malay expressions, sorta peranakan chinese. Westerners are most likely to be familiar with ONLY mainstream northern asian accents like japanese, korean and chinese (primarily cantonese) and maybe other couple of better~known south~asian counterparts like vietnamese / thai / indian accent. Little do plp know that Asians, much like other groups of ethnicities, africans/ europeans, etc. have a very wide~range, diverse accents.

Always never compare with other people about our language skills. There will always be a rare exception to extremity. There are more and more talented person will be living in every part of the world. It will be a matter of time, if you will be able to meet them in life. Speaking a proper language, doesn't mean that particular person is classy. Just be comfortable with yourself. Living life with a meaningful value is the main thing in a human life.
