Although English is the main language of Singapore, there are also a multitude of other languages spoken in the country that reflect its multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-lingual society, as envisioned by its founder, Sir Stamford Raffles. The Singapore government recognises four official languages: English, Malay, Chinese (Mandarin), and Tamil. The national language is Malay, while English is used virtually exclusively as the working language and in general conversation.
