Standard Singlish


How should Singlish be perceived in our society today? Is it an incorrect form of English? Or a unique language that is deserving of greater respect?


Standard Singlish challenges viewers to reconsider the status of Singlish by introducing a new Singlish typographical system together with a set of educational materials that reimagine a future where Singlish is formalised. Built on the nuances of "lahs," "lehs," and "lors," the system visually distinguishes these variations in text, giving structure to the rhythm and expression of Singlish.
