Qualitative methods were used by interviewing native speakers of the Widal language, literature studies, and videos documentary as a data source. The research results show that the Widal language was formed as a code language in the Dutch East Indies era. This language structure reflects traces of Indonesian culture with local vocabulary and traditional expressions.
