General Language Information:

Yumplatok (also known as Torres Strait Creole) is spoken by around 30,000 people in far north Queensland and the Torres Strait.

The Torres Strait Island Flag shows the influences within the culture of the people. The green panels at the top and bottom of the flag represent the land, the central blue panel represents the sea. The black lines dividing the panels represent the Torres Strait Islander people. The centre of the flag shows a white dhari (dancer’s headdress) and the five points of the star represent the five island groups in the Torres Strait. The white represents the place of Christianity and of the ‘Coming of the Light’ (the arrival of missionaries to the Torres Strait).

While Yumplatok is a sister language to many Melanesian languages (eg. Solomon Pijin, Tok Pisin of Papua New Guinea and Bislama of Vanuatu) it is a distinct language in its own right.
