William Gwee Thian Hock

The Babas and Nyonyas, or Peranakan people, are the hybrid descendants of Chinese and Malay ancestors mainly living in Southeast Asia. They developed their own customs, language, dress and cuisine. This book focuses on their language, especially the dialects spoken in Melaka and Singapore, which have more Malay words than the dialects spoken elsewhere. The author lists hundreds of idioms alphabetically and in each cases gives an example of the use of the expression in a sentence. 315 pages including an introduction to the Baba language and a list of references.
