There are several languages of the Torres Strait Islanders.
The western-central Torres Strait language does not have a single name, but the dialects are Kalaw Lagaw Ya, Kalau Kawau Ya, Kulkalgau Ya and Kawalgau Ya - also called Kowrareg.
The eastern Torres Strait language is a Papuan language - Meriam Mir.
In addition, there is a Torres Strait Creole, which developed from Pacific English around about the 1880s, and is variously known as Blaikman Tok, Broken/Brokan or Yumplatok.
