Seychelles Creole, also known as Seselwa, is a French-based creole language spoken in the Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean. It has evolved from the historical linguistic contact between French colonisers, African slaves, and later, individuals from various ethnic backgrounds who settled in the Seychelles.

Seychelles Creole incorporates elements from French, African languages, and other languages, resulting in a unique and vibrant linguistic identity. The language is an important marker of Seychellois culture and heritage, reflecting the diverse influences that have shaped the Seychelles throughout its history.

Seychelles Creole is widely used in daily communication, including in homes, markets, and informal settings. While French and English are also official languages in the Seychelles, Seychelles Creole holds a special place in the hearts of the people, serving as a symbol of national identity. Efforts have been made to promote the language, including its use in education and cultural activities, contributing to its continued vitality and significance in Seychellois society.
