在我们结束新加坡式英语单词和短语的汇编之前…
新加坡式英语是一种奇妙的口语化英语加密形式，混合了至少6种不同的语言和方言。
有趣的是，我们中没有人接受过如何说或理解这种语言的正规教育（我们只是以某种方式记住它）。
口音，以及混合来自不同种族群体的各种单词以形成我们自己的新加坡式英语单词的能力真是令人着迷！ 这是一个视频来总结这一切！
新加坡式英语单词示例（发音）
还有一个有趣的视频准确地描绘了英语和新加坡发音之间的差异。
新加坡式英语词典
有趣的是，有一本新加坡式英语和新加坡英语 词典 于2004年推出。
它很全面，但自2016年以来从未更新过。 请注意，以复古为主题的词典包含许多过时的单词，这些单词很少使用或随着时间的推移而“演变”。
我们不确定是否有人将其维持到今天的标准。
