Question about SEA languages

#1

Does each country have completely different languages or are some similar and others not. Like PRX has 2 Indonesians, 2 Singaporeans and 1 Malaysian while FS and X10 are exclusively Thai and Team Secret is exclusively Filipino. So is the Thai and Filipino language that much different or did the teams just sign the teams cause they though they were the best team?

Or they can all speak English very well? Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, can all speak english really well. I mean the casters are all Filipino.

I mean I haven't watched too much and when I have I've had it muted because I'm listening to music or doing something else so I never heard the casters but thanks.

Majority of filipinos actually speaks english more than tagalog, some filos even have a hard time speaking in full tagalog because we're used to speaking english

It wasn’t technically called a colony, just a place that Americans used to put military stuff and stop communists. But they were there

PRX speaks exclusively english as they see themselves as a SEA superteam languages like tagalog and thai aren't similar so teams are just 1 nationality.

Some languages are similar but I don't think language is the reason why some teams are purely from one country because everyone in SEA can communicate in English.

I think it's because PRX's core roster came from CSGO where SEA/Asia is one collective region which is why they are mixed while in Valorant SEA is divided into different regions (SG/MY, HK/TW, ID, VN, PH) which is why teams like FS and X10 are exclusively Thais. Someone correct me if I'm wrong tho

All countries have different languages but they sound the same and some words actually has the same meaning but different spellings or pronunciations so yeah there are multiple languages

All SEA teams comm in English IG.

Paper Rex has released a Berlin voice comms video if you want to see those.

Its not just every country having different languages. I think even in 1 country people speak multiple languages.

India (not in SEA but still has similar culture) for example speaks several dozen languages but English is common to all.
