Kriol is an Australian creole language that developed out of the contact between European settlers and the indigenous people in the northern regions of Australia, presently spoken by about 30,000 people.

European settlement in the Northern Territory was attempted over a period of about forty years. Settlement finally succeeded in 1870, and an influx of both English and Chinese speakers followed. In order to communicate between these two groups and the local Aboriginal people, pidgins developed throughout the territory. By 1900, Northern Territory Pidgin English (NTPE) was widespread and well understood. (pidgin english means nobody speaks it as their first language, for a pidgin to become a language it must have roots as a first language)
