Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "MiltonLibraryAssistant", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it seems to be a role account or associated with a position.

As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing.

- "MiltonLibraryAssistant" is the name of an antagonistic character from the 2014 puzzle video game The Talos Principle.
- It should not represent a real life library job position, role or department.
- If it sounds too much like a role name, leave a note and I'll change it.

- No, there is no need to change it with this explanation. Thanks, sorry to disturb. 331dot (talk) 10:28, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Singapore English
[edit]Hi, I appreciate your work on the Singapore English article. Most recently, a user made an subtle (vandal?) addition on the family language by claiming that Singapore English is directly based on Malaysian English and removing connections to Asian English and Southeast Asian English, which is something that I find odd considering I'm quite sure they developed independently due to various geographical and political factors. Restoring to the prior version leads to reverts without explanation. Is this actually the case? Thanks. 178.69.113.131 (talk) 14:30, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Singapore English does not descend from modern Malaysian English, they're both offshoots from the English spoken in British Malaya historically, note that there was a lot of movement and cross-contact between people from Singapore, and other parts of the Malay peninsula. "Malaysia" wasn't even a thing back then. Also, the terms "Southeast Asian English" and "Asian English" are geographical/areal groupings and cannot be used here when we're talking about language families, strictly speaking. Malaysian English descends from British English, not "Asian English", that needs to be changed. Same with Singapore English. It descends from British English, and is related to modern Malaysian English, but does not descend from it. MiltonLibraryAssistant (talk) 16:11, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
