    This poll should allow people to choose more than 1 option. I understand Mandarin, Cantonese, English and Malay.

    i'm one of the other cause i can't understand any of the language listed but i understand more then just english. you all are so lucky to be able to understand Mandarin, Cantonesen and viet. i can only understand thai and english and it's hard finding series with these language!

    I don't know what this poll is for but I understand Laotian, Thai, English, and a little Cantonese. I usually watch a series dubbed in Thai.

    I know mandarin, canto , english.

    I learn canto by watching tooo many TVB series. I used to not be able to utter a word of canto because I had problems pronouncing the words, but now I can at least say a full sentence without stopping several times to think how to pronounce the canto words.

    I can speak English, Singlish , Mandarin, Hokkein, Teochew, Cantonese, plus half a bucket of Malay, Tamil, Japanese (elementary stages). I don't encourage posting in other languages other than English, coz I can speak but I can't READ!!!

    I thought most malaysians who are mandarin-speaking have a pretty good command of guandonghua coz all my malaysian pals can speak cantonese well. My hometown though is pretty much in the opposite direction. More fujianhua dumbbells here, and thats how singlish was created.

    Paiseh, I was just being curious

    beh an cho. this is not necessarily true. for one, my cantonese is pretty lousy. where i am from, everybody speaks hokkien and mandarin.

    I can speak Vietnamese and English fluently. Also a bit of Japanese as well, but it is somewhat at elementary level... I'm working on it though.

    I hope to learn Cantonese soon.

    I am hokkien.

    Not all Malaysian speak cantonese. Those living in Northern Malaysia and Southern Malaysia Peninsular speaks hokkien. The southern side speak a bit of original hokkien while the Northern side speak Malaysian+hokkien+malay

    As for the canto side, it is those living in Central Malaysia Peninsular that speaks canto.
