East Timor is a small, relatively new nation in Southeast Asia that hosts many indigenous and several non-indigenous languages. Tetun Dili, a local language, and Portuguese, the former colonial language, are both official languages of the country, while English and Indonesian are recognized as 'working' languages for as long as the government deems necessary. This unique linguistic environment presents policy and development challenges for the new nation.
