I’ve been collecting observations of my own about the features of English here in Singapore, but others have published books on the subject (some more serious than others).
I have these four books. They are all a bit silly.
- English as it is Broken
Panpac (2007) ISBN: 9789812730497 - English as it is Broken 2
Panpac (2008) ISBN: 9789812802859 - The Coxford Singlish Dictionary
Angsana (2009) ISBN: 9789814193689 - An Essential Guide to Singlish
Samantha Hanna (2003) ISBN: 9789810467081
I would like to have some books written more for linguistic purposes than for mere entertainment.
