A unique community on its own, they
no longer spoke the dialect of their ancestors but a
language of their own known as Baba Malay. They speak the
Malay patois which is Malay mixed with Hokkien words and
phrases. The traditional Peranakan house symbolising its culture, with its formal Chinese arrangement and eclentic mix of furnishings reveal how this unique culture enjoyed a lifestyle that was deeply rooted In Chinese tradition and ritual, and yet was receptive to the cultures of other local communities especially the Malay culture. |
