Malay Images in the Language and Culture of Malaysia's Peranakan Chinese: With Special Reference to Kelantan Peranakan Chinese
Keywords:
Language, Culture, Malaysia's Peranakan Chinese, Kelantan Peranakan Chinese, Malay imagesAbstract
The Chinese in Malaysia may be divided into two broad categories: Peranakan Chinese who are the more assimilated Chinese and the so-called Pure Chinese who are less assimilated, although they are also influenced by Malay and/or other indigenous cultures (of the region/Southeast Asia). Peranakan Chinese are Malay-speaking Chinese and are found in Melaka, Pulau Pinang, Kelantan and Terengganu (Tan 2000:48). The origin of these Chinese can be attributed to the early and long history of interaction between the Chinese and the local people, especially Malays, Indonesians and Thais. Assimilation with local cultures was made easier amongst others by intermarriage in the early period of the development of Peranakan communities.
