Ceylon Portuguese–Dutch Creole is an extinct or nearly extinct mixed Indo-Portuguese and Dutch-based creole language. It was spoken on the island of Sri Lanka which was a Dutch colony from 1658 to 1796. It was based on Sri Lankan Portuguese Creole which preceded it and there may still be a few speakers in Wattala a suburb of Colombo. However the majority of Dutch Burghers spoke Dutch Portuguese English or Sri Lankan Portuguese Creole.
