Book On Terengganu Dialect Launched


KUALA TERENGGANU, Jan 13 (Bernama) -- A definitive book on the Terengganu dialect vocabulary, 'Kenali Loghat Terengganu', written by local writer Tuan Sharif Tuan Putera was launched here Sunday.

Speaking at the launch of the book, State Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Committee chairman Datuk Abdul Rahin Mohd Said said the book would be a fitting gift in conjunction with the Visit Terengganu Year 2013 for it could help tourists in their interaction with locals.

"By delving into the book, tour agencies and tourist guides can learn the glossary of local words, and thus, get to know local culture and customs better," he added.

He said the book was instrumental in assisting the state government to popularise Terengganu dialect besides appointing comedian Zizan Razak, who is also a local, as a TMT13 ambassador.
