Are you really Malaysian if you can&rsquo;t speak multiple languages? Unlike other countries, most Malaysians are bilingual or even trilingual which makes us one of the unique countries out there as we are living in a multiracial &amp; multilingual society.
But what makes us just as unique is how each state has their own dialects which can sometimes confuse most people, even locals. Have you tried having a full conversation with a Kelantanese person? Omg I always struggle to understand half the things they are saying.
The good thing about being able to speak multiple language is that it helps strengthen yourself in the working world and even the talent world.
A grab driver in Sarawak had posted a video on TikTok where he stole the spot light with his &ldquo;ability&rdquo; to speak another language. Typically, we don&rsquo;t see Malays talking in Mandarin or any other Chinese dialects but this got netizens impressed&hellip; and confused.

Off the get go, it&rsquo;s impressive that a non-Chinese person can confidently and fluently talk the language but as you can see in the video, even the uncle at the stall was also left in a state of shock when trying to communicate with him. The man was too stunned to speak.
One possible reason why most of us wouldn&rsquo;t understand the language is due to the Grab driver speaking in a local dialect which only Sarawakians can understand or is because he really isn&rsquo;t talking in a mandarin?
Not the first time the rider went viral on TikTok
Not too long ago, he had also gone viral when speaking Mandarin while at a motorcycle workshop. Although the Chinese man in the video didn&rsquo;t seem to understand what he&rsquo;s trying to say, his friends definitely had a good laugh as they were amazed at his speaking skills.
In fact, the video actually had 1.7 million views and 148.4K likes on it.

Do many Malaysians speak a Chinese language?

To be fair, most schools in Malaysia teach Mandarin primarily, in comparison to the other Chinese dialects.
In Malaysia, Chinese languages vary from Mandarin to other dialects such as Cantonese, Hakka and Hokkien. These dialects may also further vary upon the state you live in and family upbringings. At the moment, there is around 22.4% of Chinese ethnicity living in Malaysia but it doesn&rsquo;t specificy how many of them could speak which language / dialects as some classify themselves as a &ldquo;banana&rdquo; (unable to speak ANY Chinese language / dialect).
Well, after passing my headphones to my intern&hellip; well I&rsquo;ll just put this gif down below as an reenactment of his reaction.

&nbsp;
I guess we can say this isn&rsquo;t truly a Chinese dialect (at least according to him) but hey it&rsquo;s still entertaining. What do you think of this? Let us know in the comments.
