- Malaysian Mandarin (simplified Chinese: 马来西亚华语; traditional Chinese: 馬來西亞華語; pinyin: Mǎláixīyà Huáyǔ) is a variety of Mandarin Chinese spoken in Malaysia by ethnic Chinese in Malaysia. Today, Malaysian Mandarin is the lingua franca of the Malaysian Chinese community. Malaysian Mandarin speakers seldom translate local terms or names to Mandarin when they speak. They would prefer to verbally use Malay place names in their original Malay pronunciation: for instance, even though the street name "Jalan Bukit Kepong" is written as "武吉甲洞路" (wǔjí jiǎdòng lù, literally "Bukit Kepong Road") in local Chinese printed media, the local Chinese almost never use wǔjí jiǎdòng lù in daily conversations. There are exceptions, for example Taiping, since this name is derived from the Chinese language, when people mention this place when speaking local Mandarin, they always use its Mandarin pronunciation, "Tàipíng", instead of using its Malay pronunciation, which is closer to "Taipeng". Another example is when a place's Chinese translation varied vastly with its native Malay name, for example: for Teluk Intan, Seremban, Kota Kinabalu and Bau, they are preferably referred respectively as Ānsùn (安顺) (which refers to "Teluk Anson", Teluk Intan's former colonial name), Fúróng (芙蓉) Yàbì (亚庇), Shilongmen (石隆門).

- 馬來西亞華語、華文、大馬中文（Malaysian Mandarin），是馬來西亞華人圈中普遍使用的一種含有當地特色的華語，使用人數約8百萬。雖然馬來西亞華語是以中國現代標準漢語為基準，但受到當地歷史、文化與社會環境等的影響，跟中國普通話有一定的差異，主要體現在日常口語及用詞上。此外，通俗和标准华语有很大的差異，前者為華人社會於日常生活中所用，後者為當地中文（電子）媒體所用。由于马来西亚华语使用的词汇和现今北京规范华语有很大的差异，因此政府以及华人社团成立了马来西亚华语规范理事会（语範），规范当地的华语用词。 基於早期華人先輩下南洋的共同文化和經歷，口語化的馬來西亞華語有不少地方與新加坡華語相似，但因腔调上有些不同，某些新加坡人将带有马来西亚口音的华语腔调称为“联邦腔”。而两者合称为“新馬華語”。 (zh)
