The Fataluku language of East Timor
Fataluku is one of the languages of East Timor. It is spoken in and around the town of Lospalos, in the Lautem district, and has about 30,000 speakers. As Fataluku is a Papuan language, it is very different from Tetun and most other languages of East Timor, which are Austronesian languages.
