Really interesting to hear how @what3words are tackling location reporting, especially in the emergency services.
Have you heard of/downloaded the app?pic.twitter.com/aI2T20epyc

Hi Robert, none of these words are in our English wordlist. You would need to be using the app/site in Malay to find them. Our Languages team didn’t flag these particular words as homophones in Malay and they don’t exist in any of the other 36 languages what3words can be used in.

I put those words into your site and posted the results showing 4 different locations.

The words you entered are not homophones in Malay, so ///pere.pair.pear and ///pair.pair.pair would sound like 2 distinct addresses when pronounced by a Malay speaker. People using the app in English would not get any of the words you shared when trying to locate themselves.
