When it comes to the languages used in Malaysia, be ready for a massive culture shock. People who speak Chinese don't simply speak one Chinese language; they also speak a variety of dialects, such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, and Hokkien. The same is true of Indians; they speak various dialects (such as Tamil, Hindi, etc.). Malay is the official language of the nation. Foreigners will find it simple to ask for and get information in English because many people in Malaysia, particularly those who live in urban areas, are fluent in the language.
