What language do the people of Vanuatu speak?

Bislama, a creole language that grew out of the need for interaction between Anglophone and Francophone residents, is the most widely spoken language in Vanuatu. This English-based creole features vocabulary mostly derived from English, with some French and indigenous language influences. Bislama serves as a lingua franca for the nation, facilitating communication across the numerous ethnolinguistic groups.
