Betawi people, Batavi, or Batavians[3][4][5] (Orang Betawi in Indonesian, meaning "people of Batavia"), are an Austronesian ethnic group native to the city of Jakarta and its immediate outskirts, as such often described as the inhabitants of the city.[6] They are the descendants of the people who inhabited Batavia (the Dutch colonial name of Jakarta) from the 17th century onwards.[7][8]

The term Betawi people emerged in the 18th century as an amalgamation of various ethnic groups into Batavia.[9][10][11]
