The Language Soup: Timor Leste

Username By Barrie | April 22nd, 2007 | Comments No Comments

Portuguese is one of the two official languages in East Timor, or as it is now known, Timor Leste, but you can hardly hear it spoken in the streets of the young nation. The tiny country was a Portuguese colony for more than three centuries, but only an estimated 5 percent of its one million people now speak the European language.
