This vocabulary of Baba words and idioms is an original compilation by yours truly based on memory and actual usage since young. It is however by no means exhaustive and I believe there are many more words and idioms that have not come to mind at time of compilation. It would be interesting therefore, if visitors to this website who are of Peranakan origin could propose any new additions to the list. When a new word is suggested for inclusion, it would be put up on the website pending concurrence and confirmation by at least three other people before it could be included in the list. For all you Peranakan visitors, I say let's work together to expand this list for the sake of our unique community, culture and language. Let's all revive our rich heritage by immortalizing its lingo, which is fast losing ground and even risks the prospect of becoming extinct if not rescued now.
