Summary:

Containing over 3,000 new entries, this is the first East Tetum dictionary to include modern as well as traditional vocabulary. For visitors, aid workers, business travelers, or ethnologists, this dictionary provides a complete list of words and idioms used within the Tetum language of the territory of East Timor and their English equivalents. While the Tetum language is spoken throughout the island, it includes a range of East Timorese communication by including common colloquial and literary Tetum, archaic rural Tetum, and other local dialects. It also offers idiomatic examples, grammatical classifications, a brief sociolinguistic introduction, a guide to spelling and pronunciation, and a short appendix of Indonesian words currently used in East Timor.
