   The Chinese languages spoken in #Malaysia by state.
   Me when looking at the map: Dang, there sure is lots of Hakka people 😆

     @liztai I know 2 Malaysians and one Singaporean where I live. One Malaysian is Mandarin the other Hakka. Singaporean is Mandarin (or at least speaks it).

     Tends to confuse a lot of people in Europe though 😅 Never really got why but then again I grew up in a country with 11 official languages!

     @monsoonrains I don't even know how we Hokkiens communicate with each other because there's so many varieties. We confuse ourselves too 🤭
