Everything about The Speak Good English Movement totally explained
The
Speak Good English Movement is a program launched by the government of
Singapore. Singaporeans usually speak a
variant or dialect of
English known as
Singlish, which has heavy influences from
Chinese and
Malay in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, and can be incomprehensible to non-Singaporeans. According to the government, this causes problems when Singaporeans need to deal with people from other countries in business and trade, so the campaign aims to discourage the use of Singlish and encourage the increased use of a more standardized form of English (for example generally modelled on the
British standard). The launch of the program has been reportedly unable to effectively change the
diglossia (two parallel languages for formal and informal situations) among Singaporeans. Singlish still remains as a "common language" among Singaporeans, and is mostly used in informal communication, while a more standardized form is used for formal communication.
