Notes: | This list appears to be a mixture of Tetun Dili (creole-like Portuguese-influenced lingua franca Tetun) and Tetun Terik (traditional vernacular), as well as some unusual words. Modern Tetun Dili would have far more Portuguese influence than this list suggests - Catharina Williams-van Klinken |
