Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.26,0:02:06.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, you see, in this stigmatisation,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.57,0:02:09.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we all fail to notice
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.07,0:02:14.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that Singlish may well not be\Na creature of the old.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.42,0:02:29.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Firstly, Singlish is only as old\Nas the concept of multicultural Singapore.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.22,0:02:32.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That means there has been no Singlish
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.85,0:02:35.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before there was\Na multicultural Singapore,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.39,0:02:38.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it cannot not exist
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.83,0:02:43.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as long as we, as Singaporeans,\Nremain multicultural.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.42,0:02:48.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are two fundamental\Npillars of Singlish.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.44,0:02:51.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is, firstly, 'kampung' life.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.73,0:02:54.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because in 'kampung' life -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.01,0:03:00.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is village life, when Singapore\Nwas not as progressive decades ago -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.55,0:03:03.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,diverse people\Nwould talk across languages.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.54,0:03:07.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People from different communities\Nwould learn how other people speak
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.29,0:03:13.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then communicate with them by means\Nof how he or she knows how to speak.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.86,0:03:15.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Secondly, there is commerce.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.70,0:03:21.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And commerce is a way in which\Npeople from different countries,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.66,0:03:24.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,different communities outside Singapore
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.12,0:03:26.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,find a way to meet,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.90,0:03:28.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to exchange things,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.56,0:03:29.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to buy things,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.85,0:03:31.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to sell things.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.07,0:03:33.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But also, through those,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.06,0:03:37.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they achieve a kind of common goal\Nof trying to understand each other.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.85,0:03:41.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So people come into contact.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.01,0:03:46.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, as far as our 'same-same' future\Nis about building some global 'kampung',
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.20,0:03:47.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or some global village,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.90,0:03:52.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Singlish is actually very relevant.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.48,0:03:55.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The future, if you stop to think about it,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.96,0:04:00.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will actually sound a lot like Singlish\Nrather than English.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.52,0:04:02.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[#2 Singlish globalises.]
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.15,0:04:08.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Secondly, Singlish is a version\Nof a global language.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.01,0:04:12.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Speakers of Singlish do this:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.82,0:04:16.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they find something\Nin their own stem language
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.05,0:04:19.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that can overcome\Nits own language barrier.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.39,0:04:20.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what we do
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.80,0:04:23.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that in the language\Nthat we normally speak,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.30,0:04:26.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we move from the inward-looking part
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.09,0:04:30.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we move to the borders,\Nto the accessible, outward-looking part,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.55,0:04:34.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there create communication
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.37,0:04:37.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with other people\Nfrom a different language sector.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.92,0:04:43.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Singlish is therefore very open\Nto the involvement of other languages
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.17,0:04:46.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to the developments within languages.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.93,0:04:50.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is more able to do\Nwhat we call 'potong jalan' ah,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.51,0:04:51.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is 'potong' - 'cut' -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.80,0:04:53.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'jalan' means 'walk'.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.16,0:04:57.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You 'potong jalan' across\Ndistinct grammars and syntaxes.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.70,0:05:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You create a way where previously\Nthere was no way to communicate.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.17,0:05:05.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is this not how English itself developed
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.59,0:05:08.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and become the global language\Nof our time today?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.01,0:05:13.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After all, English\Nhas developed for 1,500 years
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.70,0:05:18.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by absorbing German,\NCeltic, Latin, French,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.60,0:05:24.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and words from different British colonies\Nlike Singapore and Malaysia and India.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.61,0:05:26.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you look at how English developed,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.59,0:05:27.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it shifts.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.62,0:05:30.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It began as Old English,
