This look like an Indonesian language. English is widely spoken in Malaysia in fact it is taught right from pre-school to university.

Just my guess?

Terah

“Terimakasih atas kunjungan anda” means “thank you for your visit”. Indonesians suck at translating to English.

kittehcruncheez

Hey no evil bashing comments k? And yes that is in Indonesia XD

hlyshtvwls

Yeah, Terah should apologize. That translation is perfect.

Terah

Ha, I wasn’t trying to be mean, I am Indonesian.

its just a typo dude, F and V are quite next to each other. >_>

adskfjö

so that’s the only mistake you found in that sentence?

TehBrad

F and V close to each other? Sure… but notice it is painted, probably with a stencil… not a keyboard :P

Justin

Not to mention “Thangs you” and “for come to fisiting us(.)” No punctuation, and if you ask me, K, and G aren’t that close, and it IS painted! How the @#$% do you mess that up?! The only errors I’ve ever made was confusing “me” and “my” while writing song lyrics on my bag, (good thing it was on the inside) and at least they’re both pronouns(ish). I don’t even know what the hell a “thang” is, nor do I want to!

I noticed that it’s a painted sign so who cares that “f” and “v” are close to each other on your keyboard

Frozengale

Because obviously they are using a keyboard to paint the sign. It doesn’t wpread as well as a brush but it gets the job done.

Vagabond

the f sound and the v sound are similar, especially when you don’t speak English. They probably said “how do you say this?” and thought they heard right

V is the vocative form of F — that is, you “vocalize” while exhaling while pronouncing the letter. Shape your mouth as though you were to speak the ‘F’ sound, but hum instead of plain exhale — that’s a V.

THAT is what is meant by, “they’re close together.” And it is because of that that people have difficulty discerning the two.

Yo

That’s normal for Indonesians. For example, they pronounce TV as tee-fee. So, that explained the the “F”. Ah well, probably the whole English sentence was directly translated from Bahasa Indonesia to English.

how do you type on a sign?

flounder

I tried using Word, but the 2×4s kept jamming my laser printer…

Une polyglotte

Try balsa wood, it’s thinner.

matty

win
p.s. f and v are not quite next to each other at all

 
 
 
 
Sandy Mac

Even if it was a typo the corrected sign would read: “Thangs you for come to visiting us” If you cannot find any errors in that sentance you have no right to comment in English.

Doesn’t everyone talk like that after a good fisting?

 
 
Stratoty87

At last, a use for that used rubber fist from Pink Taco!

jennww2ns

I was thinking that this might have been the place where the slightly used rubber fist was first acquired….

 
 
 
 
coloraturajoy

okay… it says fisiting. not fisting.

 
THA HOOORDAH

FOOOOOOOOOOOOR THA WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN’AH!

 
mi goreng

At least they tried I guess..

 
kontol

yes it’s indonesian. we confuse f and v all the time. we also enjoy fisting the tourists.

 
memec

Yep. It’s in my lofely country…Piss for yu all…

Herry

Yeah. Me too.
Fery Lofely and I Vind This Vucking Awesome.

 
 
 
Mary

OMG WTF THIS IS HILARIOUS LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!

 
 
So..

Mary it isn’t THAT funny…seriously calm down…

if it had said “Thong you for coming to fist us” it would of been better.

ah well, nice try Indonesians.

 
steve

sandy mac you FAIL!!!11!!!

 
teh cezar

I strongly think they used Google Translate for this.

 
 
NN

For all cranky commentators

Why don’t you try to translate this simple Indonesian sentences into English:

“Mayoritas orang Indonesia belajar 3 bahasa sejak kecil: bahasa ‘ibu’-nya, bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris.
Tidak heran jikalau kemampuan berbahasa mereka terbagi di antara ketiga bahasa tersebut”

I can speak in 4 different languages: Indonesian, Hokkien, Mandarin and English.
For all those cranky commentators: How many languages that you master?

 
Hamachisn't

V is indeed a voiced F, but in Indonesia there is also much confusion between F and P. This might be regional, depending on the local accent.

One other factor that may increase the frequency of spelling errors is that there is no standard spelling in Indonesian, as there is in English. (They didn’t have Noah Webster over there.) They just spell the word as they pronounce it, and that varies with regional accents.

dreeez
