As all of u know that Bahasa Malaysia is the official language of Malaysia but sumtimes we could hear the local variant of the language which is sumtimes so different from the official version.
When I migrated to Malaysia,many of my schoolmates said that my Bm was funny cos many of them were familiar with the northern and central slangs but not with the southern version of Bahasa Malaysia. I really do look stupid talking Bm that time.
Below are the some common terms that's in the southern slang:
1) Anu: usually used to talk about someone isn't present or to point to a thing
2) Bilang: To tell
3) Hari minggu: Sunday
4) Hari 1-6 : The days in a week excluding Sunday.Hari 1 refers to Monday
5) Rumah Pasung: Police station
6) Menggilai: To laugh uncontrollable
7) Pegang(the "Pe"is pronounce as "Pei") : To hold
8) Tengok Gambar: Watch Movie
I know my list is a quite incomplete so if there is any Johoreans who want to add,pls do so.Thanks
