Bahasa Cocos is a creole language spoken primarily in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean. It developed from a mix of Malay, English, and other languages due to the islands' history of trade and settlement. The language reflects the unique cultural identity of the islanders. The vocabulary of Bahasa Cocos includes many words from Malay and English, but its grammar and pronunciation are distinct. While it is primarily spoken by the local population, efforts are being made to preserve and promote the language among younger generations to maintain their cultural heritage.
