What language is spoken in Singapore?

The languages of Singapore are English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil.

Singapore is a multicultural immigrant country and a famous international trade center, which has long attracted people from all over the world. As an important way of communication, language is becoming more and more important in Singapore. For Singapore, nearly 70% people are Chinese, which means that Chinese should be the largest language in Singapore, but this is not the case.

There are fewer and fewer families whose mother tongue is Chinese. For political and economic reasons, Singapore adopts bilingual teaching, requiring all students in public schools to use English as their first language and their mother tongue as their second language. In other words, China students must learn English and Chinese, and Malay students must learn English and Malay.

Now in Singapore, Malay, the national language, is symbolic and only used in the lyrics of the national anthem and the orders issued by the army; English is a tool language, a tool for acquiring knowledge of the English world and a "tool for making a living"; Mother tongue is a cultural language, which inherits the values of traditional culture.
