Tyler is an angmoh kid—a Caucasian living in Singapore. He has lived in China and the US as well (I think he's American by birth). He's blond, cute, and can speak Mandarin, English, and Singlish!

There are a host of Singlish vulgarities, many taken from Hokkien or other Chinese dialects. Here's a short film about them. NSFW, I fear, even if you have headphones as there are subtitles with helpful translations.

As a person with many Singaporean connections (HWMBO and his predecessor, my ex-, as well as many friends), I have an interest in Singlish. Well, one of my lj friends seems to be starting a weekly Singlish "lesson".
