Wright will be named in Penang, "Wells Prince Edward Island," but this name embarrassing, and even less after the history books are also mentioned, but used as "Penang" (Penang). Why is it called Penang? It is not a place rich in nuts. The original shape of the island as betel nut, hence the name. Malay early in this way is called "Tanjung" (Tanjong), later translated into Malay, Pulau Pinang. As for the George Town has been stuck, until today we still call the capital of Penang, George Town, even after independence in 1957, is not easy to name, because it has been recorded in history.

Language
槟城 语言

  Typical multilingual society can be divided into four categories: Malay, Mandarin is a Malaysian, is divided into authentic Malay and Pasar Malay; which flow in the terminal market (the so-called Pasar) Other Ethnic Groups common language, a mixture of Chinese dialects, English, short Mill language components. English, the lingua franca in Malaysia, including the authentic British English and informal "Penang English." Chinese, ethnic Chinese lingua franca, Mandarin accent, with an obvious extra-territorial local variant. Light Mill language, mother tongue of the majority of Indians in Singapore and Malaysia. Chinese dialects, mostly Hokkien, Penang characteristics has been formed, there are Cantonese, Chiu Chow, Hakka, and so on. By occasion would use to talk different languages, so-called "code switching" phenomenon. Chinese people use everyday, "Penang Hokkien" (Penang Hokkien), regarded as a native to the language. It is different from the Chinese Hokkien dialect any time, because not only is the integration of a variety of Hokkien, also from the Malay, English, Chinese dialects in the absorption of many other components. But not for the expression of scientific terms, a person speaking in Penang Hokkien need to express some scientific concepts, it will naturally convert other languages, usually Chinese or English. In addition to teaching, Penang, names, name or names to use Hanyu Pinyin in mainland China are not many. Spelling for the Latin names were spelled according to dialect. Chinese call it the English name, which is Latin for the British to the Chinese dialects of the reasons. From the spelling of the name can identify Fujianese or Cantonese or Hakka. For example: Lim Chong Eu is actually "Lin Chong Woo," the Penang Hokkien pronunciation. 80 Government of Malaysia to the United Nations standard pinyin for schools, gradually start using a new generation of Chinese pinyin name for the next generation. However, the Chinese are not recognized as official languages, so the Chinese "name" Latin has been decided. Unless it is converted to Islam and the law to change the name of the alphabet is very difficult to change with the old generation as the "name" for the shame, the dialect of the Latin name of the alphabet, or retained, especially as Chinese characteristics. English to Pinyin romanization of Chinese dialects to register the Chinese name does cause some problems, because the same names have different spellings. For example, the same surname "Choi", a Chuah, Chua, Choy, Choi and Chai several spellings; "Chan" is a Tan, Chan, such as different spellings. More extreme situation is different because of registration, with the family surname in the passport or identity cards may have different spellings. Such as the Chinese name Huang Surprisingly, Wong (Cantonese), Ng (Hokkien / Chaozhou / Fuzhou), Ooi (Fujian), Hwang (northern China), and so Pinyin.

After which the two newspapers are published in Penang, that is, "Kwong Wah Daily" and "Guangming Daily." Newspaper based in simplified characters, occasionally the case of mixed target character, the original use of traditional, and later as education policy and international standards requirements and gradually switch to Simplified and Pinyin, the reason for the purge is to remind the younger generation traditional characters. Vernacular newspaper articles are to buy Chinese newspapers to see is an important part of Chinese life. Penang, street signs and advertising language is a multilingual society, the street is full of a variety of signs and advertising text. Use of Chinese characters is a sign of the Chinese shops. Government regulations on Chinese signs shall not be greater than the size of Malay, but Chinese is still a prominent sign advertising, in addition to the standard Chinese characters, the shows rarely used dialect or Mandarin words (such as "smart, topiramate, Bali, tip of") and so on.
