Description

This series contains material from East Timor (formerly Portuguese Timor), concentrating on Oceanic ethnography and the local language of Nan. It includes printed articles of local texts and their English translations, a typed and annotated comparative study of some East Timorese languages by Capell, and handwritten and typed comparative vocabulary lists (some by Capell).

The Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (also known as East Timor or Timor Lorosae and formerly known as Portuguese Timor) is an Australasian country which recently acquired statehood, located geographically in Oceania, although it is sometimes assigned to Asia instead (see Line dividing Asia and Oceania).
