From the languages we speak to the traditions we carry out, Malaysia is truly unique and diverse in many ways

Although we all speak the national language, Bahasa Malaysia, the style of speaking may vary among states, and some words or phrases may be completely unknown to people who live outside that state.

Whichever state you visit, the dialects are all unique, so it creates a sense of community. If you meet someone else who speaks the same dialect, especially if you're away from home, confirm y'all will end up bonding super fast!

With each individual state having its own dialect, you may be surprised at how some words might sound like words you know in Malay, but carry a totally different meaning. Even if you're not from a state where a particular dialect is spoken, it's still fun to learn all the various Malaysian loghat.

Jom, take this quiz to see if you are truly Malaysian or not by putting your dialect knowledge to the test! ;)

Although we may speak different dialects, the one thing we all have in common is our love for Malaysian FOOD! :D

With so many rich flavours and endless varieties, it's impossible to resist all the mouthwatering local delicacies available. Even tourists from all over the world enjoy our impeccable dishes and their unique tastes.

One of Malaysia's iconic dishes is our creamy butter chicken, mmm! Packed with rich flavours made from a combination of evaporated milk, curry leaves, butter, and cili padi, the taste will linger on your taste buds and keep you going back for more.

Flavour-packed just like the original dish, McDonald's has launched their very own versions of the iconic Malaysian favourite — McDonald's Creamy Butter Chicken Burger and Nasi Lemak McD with Creamy Butter Chicken!

If you're a foodie and can't get enough of the original Malaysian butter chicken, then you're in for a real treat with this delicious fusion burger.

Drenched in a creamy butter sauce, the chicken patty is placed between two fluffy toasted buns or served alongside Nasi Lemak McD. Whichever option you choose, you're sure to satisfy those butter chicken cravings, yummm!

Pssst... Want to find out how you can win a share of exclusive prizes worth up to RM15,000 by showcasing your unique dialect or slang?
