Abstract Earlier linguistic research suggested that Malacca Creole Portuguese (MCP) had existed without diglossia with Portuguese ever since the Dutch conquest of Portuguese Malacca in 1642, yet it had experienced some contact with Portuguese in the 19th and 20th centuries. The present study adds significantly to this discussion. It considers a range of information from sociohistorical studies and archival sources (including linguistic data) relating to the Dutch (1642–1795, 1818–1823) and early British (1795–1818, 1823–1884) colonial periods. For the Dutch period, it is seen that contact with other Creole Portuguese communities is likely to have persisted for some time. Most significant, however, is the finding that 19th century texts in Portuguese and creole Portuguese, recently identified in archival sources in London and Graz, show that Portuguese continued to be part of the Malacca sociolinguistic setting until the early British period, and that missionary Indo-Portuguese also had a presence at that time. It is concluded that, rather than presenting a narrow lectal range akin to that of the MCP community in the late 20th century, the creole lectal grid in the 19th century was more complex, and included dimensions of a continuum in a diglossic relationship with Portuguese.

马六甲克里奥尔语19世纪的葡萄牙语

摘要早期的语言学研究表明，自1642年荷兰人征服葡萄牙马六甲以来，马六甲克里奥尔人葡萄牙语（MCP）就一直没有与葡萄牙人交流，但是在19世纪和20世纪，它经历了与葡萄牙人的接触。本研究大大增加了这一讨论。它考虑了来自社会历史研究和档案资料（包括语言数据）的一系列信息，这些信息与荷兰人（1642-1795，1818-1823）和英国早期（1795-1818，1823-1884）殖民时期有关。在荷兰时期，可以看到与其他克里奥尔人的葡萄牙语社区的联系可能会持续一段时间。不过，最重要的发现是，最近在伦敦和格拉茨的档案资料中发现了19世纪的葡萄牙语和克里奥尔语的葡萄牙语文本，证明葡萄牙语一直是马六甲社会语言环境的一部分，直到英国初期为止，而当时的传教士印度－葡萄牙人也曾参加过会议。结论是，与二十世纪后期的MCP社区相比，这不是一个狭窄的选择范围，而是19世纪的克里奥尔语的选择网格更加复杂，并且包含了与葡萄牙人之间存在迷茫关系的连续体的维度。
