Leti Language
Leti is an Austronesian language spoken on the island of Leti in Maluku. Although it shares a lot of vocabulary with the neighboring Luang language, and is marginally mutually intelligible, it is not clear that it is more closely related to Luang than to other Southwest Maluku languages.
Fewer than 1% of Leti speakers are literate in Leti, though between a quarter and a half are literate in another language.
Famous quotes containing the word language:
“This is an approach to that universal language which men have sought in vain.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
