History of Australian Kriol
Australian Kriol was used initially in the region of Sydney and Newcastle in New South Wales in the early days of White colonization, and that then moved west and north.
The pidgin died out in most parts of the country, except in the Northern Territory, where the contact between European settlers, Chinese and other Asians and the indigenous people in the northern regions of Australia has maintained a vibrant use of the language. It is presently spoken by about 30,000 people
A problem facing many communities in Northern Australia is that creole-speaking children are treated as though they speak English, but speak it badly; so they do not receive education in English as a second language.
