The Timoric, or sometimes Timor–Babar, languages are a group of fifty Austronesian languages (geographically Central–Eastern Malayo-Polynesian languages) spoken on the islands of Timor, neighboring Wetar, and (depending on the classification) the Babar Islands to the east.


Within the group, the languages with the most speakers are Uab Meto of West Timor and Tetum of East Timor, each with about half a million speakers, though in addition Tetum is an official language and a lingua franca among non-Tetum East Timorese.

Geoffrey Hull (1998) proposes a Timoric group as follows:

    • Central: Mambai

    • East (Idalaka): Idaté, Isní, Lakalei, Lolein



  • Extra-Ramelaic (Fabronic; whatever is not Ramelaic)

    • West: Dawan (Uab Meto)–Amarasi, Helong, Roti (Bilba, Dengka, Lole, Ringgou, Dela-Oenale, Termanu, Tii)

    • Central: Tetun, Bekais

    • North: Wetar, Galoli

    • East: Kairui, Waimaha, Midiki; Luang, Makuva





Van Engelenhoven


Van Engelenhoven sets up a South–East Timor branch including Tetun, Waimaha, and Luangic–Kisaric; the latter is as follows:[3]


  • South–East Timor

    • Tetun

    • Waimaha

    • Luangic–Kisaric

      • Kisar–Roma: Kisar, Romang

      • Luangic: Luang, Wetan, Leti
