The bislama is a Melanesian pidgin used as contact language in Vanuatu, former New Hebrides. The name comes from the Portuguese bicho do mar (biche de mer ou bêche de mer, literally a sea-worm: a marine animal also called sea-cucumber, holothuria) hence Beach-la-mar in English and bichelamar in French.
