Cheq bubuh link ja kat sini. Video asai dia daghi ceghita Hang Tuah. Taktiau plak Hang Tuah asai utagha. Betoi la kot.. pasai pa... nama ada Hang-hang tu kira macam utara la noh. Lepaih cheq tengok video ni, cheq teroja la nak bagi tera balik cakap utagha ni. Haru noh. Nak habaq pi kat hangpa... cheq sebenaqnya bukan tera mana pun cakap 'piau' utara ni... haghap ja dok bagan ngan tanjung punya lama. Mai, mai jom layan sat video ni.

Fellow Penangites or stayed in Penang for more than 5 years... if you can't speak/understand Utara slang... Wajib kena amik tuisyen tapi jgn jadik mcm watak dalam video tu, guna duit tuisyen mak bagi pi clubbing plak noh... kuikuikui...

My first introduction to bahasa kebangsaan was more to bahasa kenegeriaan... communicating with friends in our neighbourhood in Utara slang.

But then, in school... the surrounding was different - multinational school where no languages other than Malay and English can be used. Malay language used by fellow skoolmates were either 'slang-less', Utara slang or like the Manglish version of Malay Language (Konpius nih.. Manglish tu kan dah Malaysian-English... apa pulak manglish version Malay language plak?)

contoh:

English: Let's eat
standard Malay: Mari kita pergi makan
Utara/Tanjung Malay: Jom pi makan
Manglish versi Malay: Mai kita pi makan


English: Don't do that, it hurts... (cuba dengan intonasi Charlie bit my fingers)
standard Malay: Jangan buat begitu, ia sungguh menyakitkan.
Utara/Tanjung Malay: Hang jangan dok buat lagu tu, sakit hang tau dak
Manglish versi Malay: Awak jangan buat saya macam ni lah... sakit maaa...

Utara slang varies from Penang, Kedah and Perlis, are slightly different from each other. I once read that the bahasa Melayu Utara has 7-9 different slangs in Penang itself. Someone did a research on this topic... if I get the source, I'll put it here, ok :D

Hehe.. bahasa utara pun sebenarnya cheq belum abes cover :P And aku sangatlah boleh terkonpius slang... antara contohnya

Selipar
I tend to say Selipaq!
which is wrong! no such word in Utara slang.. huhu

Merdeka
I tend to say Merdeke!
tu laa.. orang KL pun kagum dengar aku cakap macam ni


BTW,
Can u guess what is the language of my inner voice?

Akhir Kata,
Marilah sayangi Bahasa Kebangsaan Kita...

(pasaipa tulis entri ni ada campur bahasa mat salleh? haaa.. na na.. nak kena)
itu namanya Versatile maaa

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT KEMERDEKAAN ke-52 ;-)
