An examination of the vocabulary of Papia Kristang, the Portuguesederived creole of Malacca, western Malaysia, indicates the presence of some thirty five items traceable, or possibly traceable, to Dutch.These constitute less than 2 % of the available lexicon of ca.2,000 words.For a more detailed historical outline, and a brief descriptioin of Papia Kristang, see Hancock 1969.The Dutch occupied Malacca between 1641 and 1824, having captured the city from the Portuguese who had settled there 131 years earlier, in 1511.At this time the Dutch alsO' had interests in the East Indies, Ceylon and the Cape, as well as in northwestern South America and the Caribbean.It is not surprising therefore that they should have left a linguistic impression upon the various languages with which they were in prolonged contact.It is significant that in each of these languages, viz.Java and Ceylon Creole Portuguese, Surinam Creole English and Curac.aaCreole Portuguese/ Spanish, as well as in Papia Kristang itself, the lexical adoptions from Dutch appear to 1 be restricted to similar semantic areas.To exemplify this, corresponding forms in these languages have been included where available.In addition the Portuguese, Afrikaans and Malay forms have been included, with an occasional reference to Virgin Islands Creole Dutch.The orthography employed for Papia Kristang is that ouitlined in the writer's earlier article, and. is identical with that used for Bahasa Mëlayu with the exception that ë [9] is written d.Broad phonemic transcription is used for all other languages, but the impressionistic spelling occurring in the literature has been kept for Java and Ceylon Creole Portuguese, for which each item is enclosed in doublé quotes
