Javindo, also known by the pejorative name Krontjong, was a Dutch-based creole language spoken on Java, Indonesia. The name Javindo is a portmanteau of Java and Indo, the Dutch word for a person of mixed Indonesian and Dutch descent.
It should not be confused with Petjo, a different Dutch- and Malay-based creole also spoken in Indonesia.
