Peranakan Chinese language to be included in DBP dictionary


MELAKA: The inclusion of the Peranakan Chinese language glossary into the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka's (DBP) dictionary is a step forward to recognise the contribution of the community towards the advancement of Bahasa Melayu, says Datuk Ronald Gan.

The chairman of the Malaysia Baba and Nyonya Association said the dictionary is expected to be launched by next year and hopes to pique the younger generation's interest in the heritage language.
