	The Jakarta Post - The Journal of Indonesia Today
		Donned in their stunning attire, the Nyonya, compared to today's women, had a grim life in a community which put men on an elevated status but demanded that women stay in the domestic sphere.
		With the limited choices available to them, the Nyonyas, mainly from rich families, could immerse themselves in the pursuit of fine dressing as a Nyonya should look presentable: The best dressed, with the most beautiful designs on her kebaya, was usually the best woman with the best husband from the best family.
		As it replaced its precursor, the baju panjang, in the late 1920s, it also marked the emergence of the new Nyonya -- modern, feminine and sensual -- although the rise of the kebaya as a favored and fashionable form of dress was not strictly limited to Baba Nyonya culture.

		A key ingredient in nearly all Nyonya savoury dishes is belacan, a condiment often spoken of in the same breath as durian.
		This anomaly can be savoured in Nyonya dishes found in Penang and other Northern states which have a dominantly sourish character, flavoured with tamarinds, unripe mangos, chillies and otak udang or prawn paste (a close relative of belacan, as both are made of prawns and feature pungent and sharp aromas).
		Malaccan Nyonyas, on the other hand, were influenced by Indonesia, and used coconut milk liberally as a principal ingredient combined with aromatic Malay spices.

		Tatsächlich ist der Ausdruck „Baba“ ein ehrenhaftes malaiisches Wort, wahrscheinlich von Hindi / Sanskrit abgeleitet: Baba meint Großvater oder Vater, und wird gebraucht als Wort der Verehrung und Zuneigung für einen älteren Herrn.
		Ihre Sprache, Baba Malay [Bahasa Melayu Baba], ist ein Dialekt der malaiischen Sprache, der viele Hokkien-Worte enthält. Es ist eine aussterbende Sprache, und der zeitgenössische Gebrauch ist begrenzt auf ältere Menschen.
		Weil die Erziehung außer in Englisch in einer Zweitsprache (dort "Mutter-Sprache" genannt) auf der ethnischen Zugehörigkeit basiert, sind sie gehalten, Mandarin zu lernen, anstelle der malaiisch dominierten Sprache Baba Malay in den Familien.
