Pages: 51"Tetun is spoken over the whole of Timor in varying degrees of expertise and a number of regional dialects, but this dictionary is based on TETUN-LOS, because this is the dialect I learnt as a soldier in East Timor during the Second World War. This dictionary has been produced to assist travellers to East Timor, as a means of better communication with the local population. While Indonesian is the language now officially spoken and taught within the areas, Tetun has remained as the language for communication among the local populace." - Mr. Cliff Morris
