How much do you wish you could speak Malay in different dialects?
Well, these two Malaysian-Chinese definitely impressed everyone on Twitter when a video was shared of them speaking Malay with a Kelantanese dialect and a little bit of Thai fluently!

The video was posted on Instagram by user _yuyunz_ but became viral after it was shared on Twitter by Ibnu Hishamuddin.
Chinese yang duduk Kelantan ni kalau cakap loghat Kelantan memang nice kan? Berbual dalam bahasa melayu pun tak ada pelat cina sangat. pic.twitter.com/WcdsB04TxI

Many said how they were amazed at how flawlessly the Chinese girl switches from speaking in Chinese to English, Kelantanese and then Thai.

Be mine. Please https://t.co/DXxcbXyugn
Sebab tu di Kelantan, tak pernah ada beza Cina, India atau Melayu. Semua cakap satu bahasa satu loghat je. Ada member papa aku, pakcik Cina pakai kain pelekat lek je 😂

Others also shared their experience of meeting non-Malays who speak fluent Kelantanese during their visits to Kelantan.

We are impressed and lowkey jealous of how easily she could switch up her languages. There’s no doubt that she is definitely a Malaysian!
