My guess.

- Banana and no banana (i don't think other Chinese communities in other countries have this distinction)

- Special words such as "lui" for money, "ba sat" for market...

Any others?

Chinese in Malaysia = lame

can speak malay

U use the word tapau when u want bungkus?

diversity?

canto for banana and rain.

Agree...

Then, "pa nai" as in clever (lek in proper Cantonese).

roti = bread
kopi = coffee
gostan = reverse

Singaporean use that also

skin kaler is darker

Chinese in Malaysia vs Chinese in HK or Taiwan?

lala culture!

i kinda read this same thread like before...

HK ppl pantang the word tapao, avoid using that word when u want to take away foods

taiwanese mandarin got many loan words from japanese

American citizens who are of Chinese descents are from which part of China?

When i am in HK, i use "ngoi mai".

In HK, they call lemon tea as "ling cha" (which is shortform of lingmon (lemon)).

In Malaysia, i think people call it as "ling mon cha".

Tong San
