Roots (A Revelation of OMG porportions)

After doing some research on my grandmother(Mom's side)'s Portuguese language, it is interesting to note the following about the Portuguese dialect (Kristang) that is spoken by Malaysians with 'Portuguese' roots.

"A small number of Eurasians, of mixed Portuguese and Malay descent, speak a Portuguese-based creole, called Papiá Kristang.

The Kristang language originated after the conquest of Malacca (Malaysia) in 1511 by the Portuguese. The community of speakers descends mainly from marriages between Portuguese settlers and local Malay women, as well as a certain number of migrants from Goa, themselves of mixed Indian and Portuguese ancestry.

Even after Portugal lost Malacca and almost all contact in 1641, the Kristang community largely preserved its language. The language is not taught at school, although there are still some Church services in Portuguese."

Now, the question is... "Does that make me partially Malay... or Indian as well??"

Oh what evils the internet holds.
