Tentativas de estandardização ortográfica dos vocábulos de origem portuguesa em tétum-praça

Abstract

In this paper we aim to put a few comments on the first attempts of standardization of the spelling of numerous words of Portuguese origin in Tetum-Prasa, followed by the literacy campaign organized by Fretilin after which, due to its growing importance as a language of resistance and writing, was elaborated the current phonemic model. The corpus of examples that we analyse is based on texts of scientific nature written in Tetum-Prasa.
