Editing Manglish (section)

==Phonology==

Manglish has its unique set of features when spoken by native Malaysians that are distinct from the standard variety of English. Though very similar to spoken Singlish, the two should not be considered the same variety.<ref name="English in Southeast Asia 2012" />
 
'''Manglish is non-rhotic'''
*Sometimes referred to as r-fullness/r-lessness, spoken Manglish is similar to the standard variety of English in Singapore and Britain, in that the final /r/ consonant is dropped during speech. Words such as 'water' and 'player' are transcribed as /wɒtə/ and /plejə/ respectively.

'''There is no distinction between long and short vowels'''
*In Manglish, long vowels such as /ɑː/ and /ɜː/ are usually pronounced no differently from /ʌ/ and /ə/ respectively. For instance, 'father' is pronounced as /fʌdə/ instead of /fɑːðə/.

'''Diphthongs are reduced to monophthongs'''
*Diphthongs are usually reduced. For instance, /eɪ/ is reduced to /e/ in words such as 'later'. So instead of /leɪtə/, Manglish speakers tend to say /letə/. As another example, 'so' and 'go' are pronounced as /so/ and /go/ instead of /soʊ/ and /goʊ/.

'''Dental fricatives /ð/ and /θ/ are pronounced as dental plosives instead.'''
*Dental fricatives are often not enunciated in Manglish the way it is in standard varieties of English. Instead, they are pronounced as plosives. Hence, words like 'this' /ðɪs/ is pronounced as 'dis' /dɪs/ (voiced), and 'thing' /θɪŋ/ is pronounced as /tɪŋ/ (voiceless).

'''Omission of final consonants'''
*Final consonants of words are often left out in spoken Manglish. Some examples include 'dun' (don't), 'fac' (fact), 'adap' (adapt).
