In Malaysia, despite of different races like Malay, Chinese and Indians, there are also the mix of these races. For instance, BabaNyonya and Chitty Malay.
The Chittys are a distinctive group of Tamil people found mainly in Malacca and Singapore , who are also known as the Indian Peranakans.
As of today, their population stands at 2,000.
Like the Peranakans, the Chittys speak Malay patois, which is mixed with many Tamil loan words.
However, today many of the Chittys are unable to communicate in Tamil fluently.
