Bemé (/bəˈmeɪ̯/ buh-MAY; bemeh, pronounced [bemɛ]), also called Poccasin Creole, Poccasin Pidgin and Poccasinese, is an English creole and pidgin language spoken in the Poccasin Archipelago. It is widely spoken as a first language in Cassim Po and is by far the predominantly spoken language in many other urban areas in the Poccasins, but elsewhere in the archipelago it only holds pidgin language status, exclusively used to communicate between people of separate ethnicites; as such, it is not used at home in most of these areas.
Despite this varying status, Bemé is by far the most spoken language of the Poccasin Archipelago with around 15 million speakers as of 2025; native speakers with Bemé as their mother tongue, primarily inhabiting Cassim Po, number around 14,565. This high amount of speakers can be mostly attributed to two factors: extensive British and later American colonisation, as well as widespread teaching of the language. Bemé is an official language and designated lingua franca of the Poccasin Federation, ensuring its continuous widespread usage after independence.
