Lingua

The Sardar lunch dude is originally from Pakistani Punjab, but now Singaporean. His mother tongue is Punjabi. Mine is Tamil. So, we use Hindi, when I order.

Today, a local Singaporean Tamil was ordering lunch. In Malay. Many years in Singapore, and they have both picked up their share of Malay. That's the wavelength where they connect.
