Javindo, also known by the pejorative name Krontjong, is a Dutch-based creole language spoken on Java, Indonesia, such as Semarang.
This contact language developed from communication between Javanese-speaking mothers and Dutch-speaking fathers in Indo families.
[4] It should not be confused with Petjo, a different Dutch- and Malay-based creole also spoken by Indo-Eurasians.
With the loss of the generation that lived in the Dutch East Indies era, that language has almost died out, but it become identity for Indo descent.
[5] In contrast, the colonial society saw the creole languages as a corrupted Dutch which should be corrected as quickly as possible.
