Bidau Creole Portuguese, also known as Timor Pidgin was a Portuguese-based creole language that was spoken in Bidau [tet], Nain Feto, an eastern suburb of Dili, East Timor.
Bidau Creole Portuguese is believed to have grown out of the Portuguese spoken by settlers and mestiços from Flores Island, influenced by languages introduced to the area by military men from Lifau. It shares a number of features with nearby creoles such as Macanese.
