ICYMI: WATCH: Butter-Filled Dates Storm Social Media This Ramadan

This French grandmother's unique pronunciation of cities in Malaysia has gone viral again! The TikTok video, shared by content creator @malay_frenchie_explorer, shows the elderly woman attempting to pronounce several places in the country.

Among the places she pronounced were Kuala Lumpur, "Shadiran" (Shah Alam), which evoked laughter from the person recording, only for her to later correct it to Shah Alam.

She then attempted to pronounce Alor Star (at first "Aloq Star" and later "Aduh Setar," which loosely translates as "late" in French), to which the she commented, "You are late."

The woman then attempted to say Muar, which sounded like 'mooouuar', at which point even she burst into laughter.

Her next attempt was Kuantan (which was pronounced correctly) and then Ipoh, 'Kooching' (Kuching), which she argued was really good and pronounced correctly.

The 56-second video has received 1.2 million views, 104.2k likes, and 1102 comments.

User Sa1ra complimented the woman's correct pronunciation of Alor Star. She commented, "she pronounced Alor Setar correctly (ask any Kedahan, they'll agree)." 

Wida Jual Proton, said she was pleased to hear the elderly woman pronounce Alor Star correctly.

Noran1957, said, "I feel sorry for the grandma as she has to pronounce all the places. I am not going to laugh, as others may laugh at us when we mispronounce a word in a foreign language."

Nana on the other hand commented, "why do French people pronounce it so well."

The viral video is part of several similar videos posted on her account, check it out here!
