'Kebaya Nyonya', 'Sarung motif batik' (dari Pekalongan Jawa-Tengah Indonesia), dan 'kasut manik' adalah ciri khas pakaian "Baba Nyonya" di Malaysia (khususnya di Melaka)
Kebanyakan dari masyarakat "Baba Nyonya" sekarang ini bicara dalam bahasa Inggris yang banyak di terjemahkan secara langsung dari bahasa Melayu Malaysia dan Cantonese
contoh :
"Your head" (terjemahan langsung dari bahasa Cantonese Lei Keh Tow) dalam bahasa Jakarta/betawi "pale lo"
"Action" (to show off ) ....He got a new car. Action only...drive around so fast
bhs Indonesia (slang/bhs gaol) : "action ajah tuh"
Masyarakat "Baba Nyonya" di Indonesia disebut "Peranakan Tionghoa" "Kebaya Nyonya" disebut "Kebaya encim" bahasa yang digunakan bahasa Indonesia yang tidak standard.
Di Indonesia sering masyarakat (bukan hanya masyarakat peranakan Tionghoa) menggunakan bahasa Inggris yang terjemahan langsung dari bahasa Indonesia yang tentu saja bagi penutur bahasa Inggris menjadi tidak tepat (not make sense) seperti kata : "thanks before"
