The street names of George Town reflect the multicultural heritage of the city, the capital of the former British settlement of Penang, now part of Malaysia. Most streets in the city were built and named during the colonial era, and the historic English names generally remain and are still used by most Penangites. Since the passage of the National Language Act 1967, government policy has been to use the Malay language for all official purposes, and the Malay translations of the street names are the primary official versions that are used on street signs, now supplemented with names in English (and, in some places, Chinese, Tamil and Arabic).

  • 本列表阐述并介绍马来西亚槟城州首府乔治市范围内的街道名称。1780年代,槟城在海峡殖民地政府的接管统治下成为大不列颠王国最早的远东贸易转口港,乔治市正值开辟期间皆由殖民政府为新建街道命名。槟城摆脱英国殖民统治后,乔治市街道在马来西亚1963/67年国语法令下为迎合国家政策需要而被译成马来语,但大量街道的英语原名仍沿用迄今。 乔治市街道名称多与当时老百姓的生活起居和习惯、环境、人物、历史事迹等息息相关,反映了城市的多元文化遗产。乔治市的街牌除马来文之外,一般附有英文、中文或阿拉伯文译名。 (zh)
