* Singlish is a largely spoken creole, and as such descriptivism (recording forms that reflect actual pronunciation in spoken language, or as appearing in the linguistic corpus) is more pertinent than strict prescriptivism. Nevertheless, the use of more standard forms (or for words originating in languages with Latin script, such as Malay, accurate to the original spelling) is recommended and encouraged.

definitions
adjective
- a base of milk, or condensed milk and water, with sweetened black tea layered on top in a milk-tea ratio of around 1:1. The milk is usually frothed, with the resulting drink being similar in composition and texture to teh tarik; however, among other differences, teh-cino is often served with the layers of milk and tea not fully mixed.
