Standard Tetum-English Dictionary

This dictionary of Tetum, the principal language of East Timor, is a pioneering work which sets out to provide a comprehensive, normative record of the Tetum vocabulary.

The dictionary will be in considerable demand by East Timorese as an aid to learning English, and an invaluable resource for foreign learners and scholars of Tetum.Dr Geoffrey Hull, director of the Linguistic Survey of East Timor project at the University of Western Sydney Macarthur, is the author of several works on Tetum and the languages of East Timor.Hull, Geoffrey is the author of 'Standard Tetum-English Dictionary' with ISBN 9781865082066 and ISBN 1865082066.
