When studying Finnish, I found a lot of similarities in pronunciation between Finnish and Malay, the latter being one of my native languages. As a Malaysian, I was born in a multiracial environment, in which people very commonly mix up different languages, such as Malay and English. It goes beyond code-switching and could therefore be considered creole. Sometimes I wonder whether non- Finnish speakers and non-Malay speakers will notice when I mix up Finnish and Malay.
