Singapore has four official languages: Malay, English, Mandarin, and Tamil. English serves as the default common language and is widely used in business, government, and education. Malay is the national language, reflecting the indigenous community, and is used in the national anthem and military commands. Mandarin is prevalent among the Chinese community, while Tamil is used by the Indian population. Many Singaporeans are bilingual, often speaking English alongside their mother tongue.
