QUOTE(oe_kintaro @ Feb 15 2021, 12:26 AM) Even within Peninsular Malaysia it's different la. no wonder la i learn simple hokkien from youtube & aunty at my company mini shop (she's hokkien) say a bit different from them I guess it depends on which cities the diaspora originated. Back in the old days, Chinese migrants to South East Asia tended to congregate in places they could find people from their home town. North Peninsular Malaysia had a lot of people from Zhangzhou, compared to southern and central Peninsular Malaysia where there were more from Quanzhou and Amoy. For example, egg in Penang hokkien is "nui", but southern Malaysian hokkien it's "n'eng" or something liddat. I'm not so sure what Sarawak Hokkien is like but likely it should be similar to either one of the two major varieties above. |
