The Kelantanese dialect – Baso Kelaté or Kécèk Kelaté – can be a challenge to understand even to the most proficient speaker of the Malay language. It is spoken in rhythmic sentences with a sort of sing-song intonation that incorporates unique pronunciation.
Visitors to Kelantan, needless to say, might find it hard to decipher daily conversations among locals.
