Cocos Malay is a post-creolized variety of Malay, spoken by the Cocos Malays of Home Island, Christmas Island, and those originally from the Cocos Islands currently living in Sabah.

Cocos Malay derives from the Malay trade languages of the 19th century, specifically the Betawi language. Malay is offered as a second language in schools, and Malaysian has prestige status; both are influencing the language, bringing it more in line with standard Malay. There is also a growing influence of English, considering the Islands having been an Australian territory and globalization drifting modern terms into the daily parlance. In 2009, Cocos Malay students were prohibited from using their own language and failure to comply resulted in punishment in the form of "speaking tickets" which meant that they were required to carry out cleaning duties in school. However, this form of language restriction ended by 2011.

There are three ways in which Cocos Malay differs from Standard Malay and Indonesian:

1. The uvular [ʁ] which always occurs intervocalically is present in Coco Malay but not in Standard Malay or Indonesian.
2. Certain consonants, [f v ʃ z], which occur in Standard Malay are not present in Cocos Malay.
3. With regard to the [h] amongst the three languages, the [h] in Cocos Malay is often dropped, especially in word-initial position. Examples include:

Standard Malay	Cocos Malay	English Gloss
[ˈhisap˺]	[ˈisap˺]	'suck'
[ˈhuta̪ n]	[ˈuta̪ n]	'forest'
[ˈhiduŋ]	[ˈiduŋ]	'nose'
[ˈhaus]	[ˈaus]	'thirsty'
