This paper is a description of Cocos Malay, the variety of Malay spoken on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the Indian Ocean. Based on a corpus collected during recent fieldwork on the Islands, the Cocos Malay sound system is presented, highlighting, in particular, a characteristic Cocos intonation pattern, as well as the inter-generational differences observed.
