Zen cho order of the pure moon5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() Seriously, I don’t speak like how I write in this review or in my other reviews. I suppose they drew the line at the inclusion of “ lah“?

Spoken and written Manglish often borrow the syntactical structure of these disparate tongues so sentences often sound ungrammatical to American and English ears. ![]() Order of the Pure Moon is written in Manglish (what we affectionately call “mangled English”), an English-based creole used in Malaysia that is liberally sprinkled with loanwords from Malay, Tamil, and various Chinese dialects. One of my job as a reviewer is to equip readers with the correct expectations, so books can find the right readers. Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water (2020) by Zen Cho ![]()
