Petjo, also known as Petjoh, Petjok, Pecok and Petjoek ( ), is a Dutch-based creole language that originated among the Indos, a people of mixed Dutch and Indonesian ancestry in the former Dutch East Indies. The language has influences from Dutch and, depending on the region, Javanese, Malay, Sundanese and Betawi. It was primarily spoken in Kemajoran, Karangbidara, and which had significant Indos population. Its speakers presently live mostly in Indonesia and the Netherlands. The language is expected to become gradually extinct by the end of the 21st century, due to Indos' shift toward Indonesian in Indonesia and Dutch in the Netherlands.
