I've never heard a Jap say (or try to say, considering they can't say "l" or long "ahh") lah....

Really. Wow. I don't remember. I must have seen that movie at least 7 times. Although Japanese are the worlds greatest wannabes.

Is that an assumption? think its chinese only dear
Ah, ok THIS I can be quite certain of. My mum came from Vietnam and Cambodia, and said it was a very popular thing for young people to say there.

I've heard it from Cantonese and Mandarin friends, in this Thai movie, as well as coming from Koreans both at Uni and at LAN. A guy I play gunbound with, a pretty smart dude from Singapore, also said that although it's originally Canton/Mandarin, that it's spread to most Eastern Asian languages, although up till now, I thought Japanese didn't say it.
