The Diu Indo-Portuguese language or Diu Portuguese Creole (in Portuguese 'língua dos velhos', "Elder's Language") was spoken in Diu, India. It is a creole based on Portuguese and Gujarati.

Widely spoken in the past, the language is rapidly disappearing because Gujarati is more widely spoken and is now the main language of education there. Only the less educated elder members of the community speak it at home. In the past there was a vibrant community of Portuguese-Indians who spoke it.
