''Papia Kristang'' ("speak kristang"), or just ''Kristang'', is a creole language. It is spoken by the Kristang, a community of people of mixed Portuguese and Asian ancestry, chiefly in Malacca (Malaysia) and Singapore. The language is also called ''Cristão'' or ''Cristan'' ("Christian"), ''Portugues di Melaka'' ("Malacca Portuguese"), ''Linggu Mai'' ("Mother Tongue") or simply ''Papia''. Papia means speak. However, locals and most of the Kristang community refer to the language as simply "Portuguese/Portugis". == Distribution == The language has about 5,000 speakers in Malacca and another 400 in Singapore. About 80% of the older Kristang people in Malacca regularly speak it. There are also a few speakers in Kuala Lumpur due to migration. Kristang is also spoken by some immigrants and their descendants in the United Kingdom, where some settled after Malaysian independence, and also in Australia, in particular the city of Perth, which is a popular destination for retirees from this community. In Pulau Tikus, there were more speakers in 1997 than in 1987. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kristang language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
