Indonesian Dutch (Dutch: Indonesisch-Nederlands) is a regional variety of Dutch spoken in Indonesia. Over time, Dutch became the language used by colonizers for centuries in the Indonesian Archipelago, both when it was still colonized or partially colonized by the Netherlands. This language was the official language in the Dutch East Indies, as well as in Dutch New Guinea, before the transfer of Western New Guinea to Indonesia in 1963.
