Dutch language in Indonesia

Dutch was 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 until World War II, as well as in Dutch New Guinea until the transfer of Western New Guinea to Indonesia in 1963.
