    Introduction

    Termanu is a language of Indonesia. It is spoken in East Nusa Tenggara Province. Termanu, Keka, Talae, Korbafo, and Bokai domains. Central Rote island.

    Dialects

    Bokai, Korbafo (Korbaffo), Pa’da (Termanu), Pa’da Kona (Keka-Talae, Southern Termanu). Seems more similar to Lole (See: Lole?) than to other varieties on Rote. Korbafo and Bokai may need to be separated for sociolinguistic reasons.
