Peranakan is the identity of chinese race.If your grand parents came from China and then their children married among chinese too and they have children so they are called peranakan too although they can not speak chinese language (mandarin).But if you got married with pribumi(local woman) then your children are not peranakan,because they are not pure chinese.Peranakan will be eliminated if all chinese got married with the local men/women.They will not be treated as peranakan anymore.
