During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, Dutch was spoken among descendants of Dutch/Flemish settlers on the island of Amager (Dragør, Store Magleby and Christianshavn).

However, subsequent generations of all these groups have overwhelmingly abandoned their ancestral languages and assimilated into the dominant language-speaking population.
