I'm not going to be surprised if the Singlish channel ended up becoming a real thing, the actual English-speaking people will spectate our channel and enjoy a good long laugh behind their screens about how foolishly we seem to talk XD

I bet any English speaking audience reading this thread thoroughly will be like: o3o ... So the were speaking part English all the time?!? ........................................... WHAT?!?!?

Please just note that there is no point in debating of who could be a mod (or not) here. It's not how it works.
And seriously don't feel forced to disclose this kind of conv

To note, I'm not the one who choose but I don't think there will have a channel for a language who is technically more a dialect :s

I wouldn't really call it a dialect. Its really more of an official language in singapore.

if singlish is a dialect, then what about the cantonese channel? :c

In all seriousness, #Singlish would be a a great channel. Here's why:

1) Singapore has a really large active community for osu :)
2) Singlish is a mixed dialect ;)
4) It's something a large segment of the sg osu community has wanted :x

All in all wouldn't it be a really good idea to at least give it a shot to have #Singlish? It wouldn't die out like some of the other language channels.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yue_Chinese Channel is named #cantonese but it's more this language who is used in it. It's the official language of Hong-Kong and mostly used in south of China.

Its a 'language' that unites Singaporeans and some Malaysians. And also it can be a channel whereby people who want to experience singlish first-hand can come and take a look

Apparently #malaysian came about after a split of #malay into #indonesian and #malaysian a couple years back.

Just a heads up on some key posts for other channel requests that are pending atm.
Response is not going too well for them on their sides either.
Latvia has ~90 pages on their language specific thread and 4.2k active users, while the Irish have 3.6k active users.

Please calm down a bit with your posts. You definitely shows that you want a own channel to chat but it's kinda unnecessary to leave posts like "pl0x" and "I agree". Instead, make some suggestions and/or leave more reasons why you need it.

Channels are not groups for communities, they are groups for specific non-English languages.

Zallius wrote:

Understood, but this would be a sole requirement for the channel rather than a community of players from Ireland. We would need an indication that there are a significant number of speakers of traditional language speakers for this to happen.

*FWIW half my family is Irish, so i'm very much aware :P

So how exactly do we give an indication of how many of us can speak Irish when we have no place to speak it?

Zallius wrote:

Get more people that speak the language to provide their vote in this thread, and star it!

My point was being made in response to the opening posts, to confirm that language specific channels are not community group for those who live in a certain country. The requirement for us to justify opening a language channel is that we have a large enough collection of players that speak the actual language to justify operating and moderating the channel.

From what I see, the Latvian thread in the Language Specific subform for a year has 50+ pages.
This is what i call activity, so it shouldn't be hard in my honest opinion. I'm giving you my support.
Just a matter of time.

I'd love if only people that are actually going to use channel would only post / throw stars - that shows how big your community is to consider channel for you.

Thanks for the heads up mang.


Also,
tbh everyone in SG speaks Singlish, we have a pretty large active community (sort of) and the channel would probably be flooded should it be created. Also no one speaks in Singlish on forums because we'll look like complete weirdos :)

It wouldn't be flooded, trust me. In fact, it'll probably only have like half of #malaysian's population most likely.

communication between players will be easier as we don't have to rely on discord, skype and other platforms that are inconvenient to access while in game

also, we will be able to reach out to more people in the community

More generous pls we need star powers tyty

On topic:
Uhh drawing from Malaysia and Indonesia's cases, Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia are their official national languages so they've a solid reason to get approved. Unless we can somehow justify Singlish to be something as close as an official national language, we're somewhat lacking of a proper reason on our part.

Then again, Singlish is so ingrained in us that we even have to proofread if we're typing in proper English without any weird Singlish slang in it. Or maybe it's just me.

I guess we'll see how this goes for now and try to look more active on our currently dead language specific thread. In case if you don't know (I just found out yesterday anyways), AFA's round the corner later this month. That could be a starter topic or something.

Also, there's a SG Sightread Compy that's coming up next month with a map pool that features our local mappers!

Putting more stars won't get you anywhere closer

A bad suggestion is a bad suggestion, you could make a flag of america with ten times stars and no one approves it

And that post is just a nail in the coffin when you put the word 'slang' on it, which basically means you are still using English but in a more localised sense

Only thing you can do is to make out the differences or gain support from the community itself, but I seriously doubt that people would mind if you talked in #malaysian, it is usually empty anyway

In fact, Singaporeans did try to make this a national language before

I once went to #malaysian and I was strictly told speakin in singlish, english or anything not related to malay = prohibited.
And #malay isn't empty until someone actually starts a conversation so yea.

Edit: I don't even know how to speak malay except for the lil slangs and words we use in singlish :|
