About the Book

This is a fully revised and expanded edition of the Tetum-English Standard Dictionary. It provides an exhaustive list of words and idioms belonging to the Tetum language as it is spoken in the territory of East Timor, all with English equivalents. The lexical range covers the register of common colloquial and literary Tetum (Tetun-Prasa), archaic rural Tetum (Tetun-Terik) and local dialects. The aim of the dictionary is to present an accurate and up-to-date description of the vocabulary of Eastern Tetum language in alphabetical order, with grammatical classifications, English equivalents, idiomatic examples, a brief sociolinguistic introduction, a guide to spelling and pronunciation, and a short appendix of Indonesian words in current use in East Timor but not yet integrated into literary Tetum. Because of its comprehensive nature, the dictionary will serve jointly the needs of non-Timorese studying Tetum, East Timorese seeking a guide to correct standard spelling and synonyms, and linguists and ethnologists interested in the speech and culture of the people of East Timor.
