What language is Singapore?

Singapore is a multilingual country with English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil, among which English is the administrative language.

The Constitution of Singapore clearly stipulates that Malay is the national language of Singapore. Since Singapore's independence, the government has always regarded English as the main lingua franca and teaching language among ethnic groups, and positioned it as the "first language". Singapore's constitution and laws are also written in English, and languages other than English are also translated into English in court.

Chinese Singaporeans:

In the Chinese community in Singapore, Chinese students must accept the bilingual education system of "English as the main language, supplemented by Chinese" at the basic education stage, and take Chinese courses of 10 to 12 years. However, compared with English application ability, Singapore's Chinese listening and speaking ability is ok, but its "reading and writing ability" is weakening.

Singapore is a society dominated by Minnan people (called Fujian people locally). People generally use Minnan dialect in Fujian, Taiwan Province and Zhangzhou, and can communicate with Minnan people in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province province.
