==Betawi Malay==
{{main article|Betawi language}}
Betawi Malay, also known as Jakarta or Java Malay, is a creolised-Malay which is spoken in [[Jakarta]] (the modern name for Betawi) and its surroundings. Betawian or ''Omong Betawi'' is based on Bazaar Malay (Melayu Pasar) but influenced by various languages such as [[Javanese language|Javanese]], [[Sundanese language|Sundanese]] (the area is surrounded by Sundanese speaking area), Chinese (especially Hokkien), Portuguese, Dutch, [[Balinese language|Balinese]] and others. Betawian creole began to be used after 1750 in Batavia, and replaced [[Portuguese creole]] as the ''lingua franca''.<ref>[http://email.eva.mpg.de/~gil/ismil/12/abstracts/Gil.pdf Why Malay/Indonesian Undressed: Contact, Geography, and the Roll of the Dice, by David Gil]</ref>
Betawian Malay was also influenced by Chinese-style Malay spoken by the Chinese settlers who had come earlier.
