Melanesian Pidgin or Neo-Melanesian language comprises four related English-derived languages of Melanesia:
- Bislama, of Vanuatu
- Solomon Islands Pidgin
- Tok Pisin, of Papua New Guinea
- Torres Strait Creole, of the Torres Strait Islands and parts of Cape York
These languages are linked to workers from these places working on plantations in the Australian state of Queensland. Torres Strait Creole is the least closely related of the four.
