Tetum woman
The love poem translated into tetum Dili (tetum), the official language of East Timor. This malayo-Polynesian language has several dialects, Dili, Terik, Belu. 1.3 million people will be able to watch themselves, in a mirror, with my verses, translated into tetum. Our Latin alphabet suits it very well.
Timorese
Timor is split into two parts: the West, which is Indonesian, and the East, which is independent. The western part was Dutch and the eastern part Portuguese.
