Contact languages are created when groups of people who speak different languages come together and create a new language from their own ones - and today, many contact languages around the world are at risk of dying out. Among the most endangered, is Baba Malay, which originated in Melaka. We look at contact languages, and the challenges of preserving Baba Malay as a living language.
