Datapoint Singapore Bazaar Malay/Ongoing creolization of pidgins

At present, Bazaar Malay speakers are mostly older Singaporeans, most of whom
do not have working knowledge of English, and middle-aged Singaporeans whose
working environments require them to know Bazaar Malay. They use Bazaar Malay
when the other party does not have any knowledge of English. It deserves our careful
attention that given the present linguistic situation in Singapore, the status of Bazaar
Malay is declining and so is the proficiency or fluency of Bazaar Malay speakers due
to the limited contexts in which it is used, less exposure and lower frequency of
language use.
