Lingo Episode #2: Is Singlish a language?

Lingo is a show that’s about our relationship with language, how it goes beyond communication, and the impact it has on our lives, cultures, and traditions. This episode, we explore Singlish as part of Singapore's national identity and whether it's an actual language or just bad English.

Also, if you're feeling a bit sian, test your knowledge of Singlish here.
